We consider radially symmetric, energy critical wave maps from $$(1+2)$$(1+2)-dimensional Minkowski space into the unit sphere $$\mathbb {S}^m$$Sm, $$m \ge 1$$m≥1, and prove global regularity and scattering for classical smooth data of finite energy. In addition, we establish a priori bounds on a suitable scattering norm of the radial wave maps and exhibit concentration compactness properties of sequences of radial wave maps with uniformly bounded energies. This extends and complements the… Expand
