β¦ Synopsis
We show uniqueness of sufficiently regular solutions to critical semilinear wave equations and wave maps in the (a priori) much larger class of distribution solutions with finite energy, assuming only that the energy is nonincreasing in time.

The theory of scattering is studied for the nonlinear wave equation iu+|u| r -1 u=0 in space dimensions n=3, 4. We give a new proof of the asymptotic completeness in the finite energy and conformal charge space for n=r=3. Our method is strong enough to deal with the subconformal power r < 1+4/(n -1)
## Abstract We prove unique continuation of solutions of the wave equation along and across lowerβdimensional planes containing the __t__βaxis. This is a sharpening and a generalization of a result of Cheng, Ding and Yamamoto as well as a simplification of the proof. Copyright Β© 2008 John Wiley & S
