### A codimension-two stable manifold of near soliton equivariant wave maps

#### Abstract

We consider finite-energy equivariant solutions for the wave map problem from $ℝ2+1$ to $S2$ which are close to the soliton family. We prove asymptotic orbital stability for a codimension-two class of initial data which is small with respect to a stronger topology than the energy.
