A class of large global solutions for the Wave--Map equation

In this paper we consider the equation for equivariant wave maps from $R^{3+1}$ to $S^3$ and we prove global in forward time existence of certain $C^\infty$-smooth solutions which have infinite critical Sobolev norm $\dot{H}^{\frac{3}{2}}(R^3)\times \dot{H}^{\frac{1}{2}}(R^3)$. Our construction provides solutions which can moreover satisfy the additional size condition $\|u(0, \cdot)\|_{L^\infty(|x|\geq 1)}>M$ for arbitrarily chosen $M>0$. These solutions are also stable under suitable perturbations. Our method is based on a perturbative approach around suitably constructed approximate self--similar solutions.
