Abstract

In this paper we establish the existence of certain classes of solutions to the energy critical nonlinear wave equation in dimensions $3$ and $5$ assuming that the energy exceeds the ground state energy only by a small amount. No radial assumption is made. We find that there exist four sets in $\dot H^{1}\times L^{2}$ with nonempty interiors which correspond to all possible combinations of finite-time blowup on the one hand, and global existence and scattering to a free wave, on the other hand, as $t → ±∞$.
