Abstract
In this paper, we consider wave maps (solutions of the sigma model) from the 2+1 Minkowski space-time, to the 2-sphere. We ⺠derive the universal collapse law of degree 1 equivariant wave maps, ⺠introduce a nonlinear transformation from original variables to blowup ones, ⺠present numerical simulations confirming our analytical derivations.
