Book excerpt: The author shows that the finite time type II blow up solutions for the energy critical nonlinear wave equation $ Box u = -u^5 $ on $mathbb R^3+1$ constructed in Krieger, Schlag, and Tataru (2009) and Krieger and Schlag (2014) are stable along a co-dimension three manifold of radial data perturbations in a suitable topology, provided the scaling parameter $lambda (t) = t^-1-nu $ is sufficiently close to the self-similar rate, i. e. $nu >0$ is sufficiently small. Our method is based on Fourier techniques adapted to time dependent wave operators of the form $ -partial _t^2 + partial _r^2 + frac 2rpartial _r +V(lambda (t)r) $ for suitable monotone scaling parameters $lambda (t)$ and potentials $V(r)$ with a resonance at zero.
