Universality of global dynamics for the cubic wave equation

Abstract
We consider the initial value problem for the spherically symmetric, focusing cubic wave equation in three spatial dimensions. We give numerical and analytical evidence for the existence of a universal attractor which encompasses both global and blowup solutions. As a byproduct we get an explicit description of the critical behavior at the threshold of blowup.
