DESCRIPTION:Prof. Michael McNulty - Michigan State University  \nAbstract
 : The Skyrme model is a geometric field theory and a quasilinear modifica
 tion of the nonlinear sigma model\, i.e.\, wave maps into the sphere. In 3
 +1 dimensions\, it is known that this modification prevents self-similar c
 ollapse and that global existence holds for large data. I will discuss rec
 ent work which demonstrates that this is not the case in 5+1 dimensions. I
 n particular\, Skyrme’s modification provides a stable mechanism for fin
 ite-time blowup at the self-similar rate.
