contents We show that the energy critical Wave Maps equation from $\mathbb{R}^{2+1}$ into $\mathbb{S}^2$, restricted to the $k=2$ co-rotational setting, admits arbitrarily large numbers of concentrating concentric $n$ bubble profiles. For any $n\in\mathbb{N}$, we construct an $n$-bubble solution concentrating at scales $λ_1(t)\gg λ_2(t)\gg \ldots\gg λ_n(t)$, where $λ_n(t)=t^{-1}\vert \log t\vert^β$, and $λ_j(t)\gtrsim \exp( \int_t^{t_0} λ_{j+1}(s)ds)$, for any $j<n$. Here $β>\tfrac32$ is a parameter that can be chosen arbitrarily. This shows that, as far as finite time blow-up case is concerned, the entirety of cases postulated in the soliton resolution theorem indeed occur, provided the concentric collapsing bubbles have alternating signs.

We show that the energy critical Wave Maps equation from $\mathbb{R}^{2+1}$ into $\mathbb{S}^2$, restricted to the $k=2$ co-rotational setting, admits arbitrarily large numbers of concentrating concentric $n$ bubble profiles. For any $n\in\mathbb{N}$, we construct an $n$-bubble solution concentrating at scales $λ_1(t)\gg λ_2(t)\gg \ldots\gg λ_n(t)$, where $λ_n(t)=t^{-1}\vert \log t\vert^β$, and $λ_j(t)\gtrsim \exp( \int_t^{t_0} λ_{j+1}(s)ds)$, for any $j<n$.
