We are interested in the problem of existence of soliton-like solutions for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. In particular we study some necessary and sufficient conditions on the nonlinear term to obtain solitons of a given charge. We remark that the conditions we consider can be easily verified. Moreover we show that multiplicity of solitons of the same charge is guaranteed by the "shape" of the nonlinear term for equations on $\R^{N}$, hence without appealing to topological or geometrical properties of the domain.
In this note, we consider discrete nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with potential. By the pioneering work of Sigal, it is known that for the "continuous" nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation, no small time periodic solution exists generically. However, for the discrete nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations, we show that there exist small time periodic solutions.
In this article we will prove the global existence of a type of wave-Klein-Gordon system in $2+1$ spacetime dimension. Some technical tools such as conformal energy estimate on hyperboloid, normal form transform on Klein-Gordon equations will be adapted to this $2+1$ dimensional case.
By exploiting estimates on Bloch functions obtained in a previous paper, we prove decay estimates for Klein Gordon equations with a time independent potential periodic in space in 1D and with generic mass
In this paper we consider the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system in the electrostatic case, assuming the fall-off large-distance requirement on the gauge potential. We are interested in proving the existence of finite energy (and finite charge) standing waves, having the phase corresponding to the mass coefficient in the Klein-Gordon Lagrangian.
We study a Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system, in a bounded spatial domain, under Neumann boundary conditions on the electric potential. We allow a nonconstant coupling coefficient. For sufficiently small data, we find infinitely many standing waves.
We prove the existence of a mountain-pass solution and the a priori bound property for the electrostatic Klein-Gordon-Maxwell equations in high dimension.
We consider the decay rate of solutions to nonlinear Klein-Gordon systems with a critical type nonlinearity. We will specify the optimal decay rate for a specific class of Klein-Gordon systems containing the dissipative nonlinearites. It will turn out that the decay rate which is previously found in some models is optimal.
We consider a system of two coupled non-linear Klein-Gordon equations. We show the existence of standing waves solutions and the existence of a Lyapunov function for the ground state.
Static Klein-Gordon-Maxwell-Proca systems are massive versions of the electrostatic Klein-Gordon-Maxwell Systems. The vector field in these systems inherits a mass and is governed by the Proca action which generalizes that of Maxwell. Following previous work by Druet & al. we prove existence and uniform bounds for such systems in the double critical case of dimension 4.
We prove global in time dispersion for the wave and the Klein-Gordon equation inside the Friedlander domain by taking full advantage of the space-time localization of caustics and a precise estimate of the number of waves that may cross at a given, large time. Moreover, we uncover a significant difference between Klein-Gordon and the wave equation in the low frequency, large time regime, where Klein-Gordon exhibits a worse decay that the wave, unlike in the flat space.
We consider long time evolution of small solutions to general multispeed Klein-Gordon systems in 3+1 dimensions. We prove that such solutions are always global and scatter to a linear flow, thus extending previous partial results. The main new ingredients of our method is an improved linear dispersion estimate exploiting the asymptotic spherical symmetry of Klein-Gordon waves, and a corresponding bilinear oscillatory integral estimate.
We prove that in the nonrelativistic limit, solutions of the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system in 1+3 dimensions converge in the energy space to solutions of a Schrodinger-Poisson system, under appropriate conditions on the initial data. This requires the splitting of the scalar Klein-Gordon field into a sum of two fields, corresponding, in the physical interpretation, to electrons and positrons.
In this paper, we prove the exponential decay of local energy for the Klein-Gordon equation with localized critical nonlinearity. The proof relies on generalized Strichartz estimates, and semi-group of Lax-Phillips.
We prove small data global existence and scattering for quasilinear systems of Klein-Gordon equations with different speeds, in dimension three. As an application, we obtain a robust global stability result for the Euler-Maxwell equations for electrons.
We prove existence and uniform bounds for electrostatic Klein-Gordon-Maxwell systems in the inhomogeneous context of a compact Riemannian manifold when the mass potential, balanced by the phase, is small in a quantified sense.
We derive a uniform exponential decay of the total energy for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with a damping around spatial infinity in the whole space or in the exterior of a star shaped obstacle.
In this work we consider the problem of global existence of small regular solutions to a type nonlinear wave-Klein-Gordon system with semi-linear interactions in two spatial dimension. We develop some new techniques on both wave equations and Klein-Gordon equations in order to get sufficient decay rates when energies are not uniformly bounded. These techniques are compatible with those introduced in previous work on two spatial-dimensional quasi-linear wave-Klein-Gordon systems, and can be applied in much general cases.
We study the Cauchy problem for the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system in 3D with low regularity data. We lower down the regularity to the critical value with respect to scaling up to the endpoint. The decisive bilinear estimates are proved by means of methods developed by Bejenaru-Herr for the Zakharov system and already applied by Kinoshita to the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system in 2D.
We study the scattering problems for the quadratic Klein-Gordon equations with radial initial data in the energy space. For 3D, we prove small data scattering, and for 4D, we prove large data scattering with mass below the ground state.
In this paper we study the global existence and uniqueness of solution for a Klein-Gordon equations system with mixed boundary conditions. Also we analyze the asymptotic behavior of this solution.
We study linear Klein-Gordon equations with moving potentials motivated by the stability analysis of traveling waves and multi-solitons. In this paper, Strichartz estimates, local energy decay and the scattering theory for these models are established. The results and estimates obtained in this paper will be used to study the interaction of solitons and the stability of multisolitons of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations.
We study a Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system, in a bounded spatial domain, under Neumann boundary conditions on the electric potential. We allow a nonconstant coupling coefficient. For sufficiently small data, we find infinitely many static solutions.
We look for three dimensional vortex-solutions, which have finite energy and are stationary solutions, of Klein-Gordon-Maxwell-Proca type systems of equations. We prove the existence of three dimensional cylindrically symmetric vortex-solutions having a least possible energy among all symmetric solutions. Moreover we show that, if the Proca mass disappears, then the solutions tends to a solution of the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system.
We present a set of time quasi-periodic solutions to a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with a decaying nonlinear term on the torus in arbitrary dimensions. This paper generalizes the bifurcation method developed in [W2].
We prove small energy scattering for the 3D Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system with radial symmetry. The idea of proof is the same as the Zakharov system studied in \cite{GN}, namely to combine the normal form reduction and the radial-improved Strichartz estimates
We prove that the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations on $\R^{1+4}$ relative to the Coulomb gauge are locally well-posed for initial data in $H^{1+ε}$ for all $ε> 0$. This builds on previous work by Klainerman and Machedon who proved the corresponding result for a model problem derived from the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system by ignoring the elliptic features of the system, as well as cubic terms.
We show the ill-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the Dirac-Klein-Gordon system in one dimension in the critical Sobolev space. From this, we finish the classification of the regularities for which this problem is well-posed or ill-posed.
This article resolves some errors in the paper "Scattering threshold for the focusing nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation", Analysis & PDE 4 (2011) no. 3, 405-460. The errors are in the energy-critical cases in two and higher dimensions.
The Klein-Gordon - Schroedinger system with Yukawa coupling is shown to have a unique global solution for rough data, which not necessarily have finite energy. The proof uses a generalized bilinear estimate of Strichartz type and Bourgain's idea to split the data into low and high frequency parts.
In this paper, we consider a semiclassical version of the fractional Klein-Gordon equation on the lattice, $h{\mathbb{Z}}^n.$ Contrary to the Euclidean case that was considered in [2], the discrete fractional Klein-Gordon equation is well-posed in $\ell^2(h{\mathbb{Z}}^n).$ However, we also recover the well-posedness results in the certain Sobolev spaces in the limit of the semiclassical parameter $h\rightarrow 0.$
We consider the Cauchy problem for coupled systems of wave and Klein-Gordon equations with quadratic nonlinearity in three space dimensions. We show global existence of small amplitude solutions under certain condition including the null condition on self-interactions between wave equations. Our condition is much weaker than the strong null condition introduced by Georgiev for this kind of coupled system. Consequently our result is applicable to certain physical systems, such as the Dirac-Klein-Gordon equations, the Dirac-Proca equations, and the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations.
We give blow-up results for the Klein-Gordon equation and other perturbations of the semilinear wave equations with superlinear power nonlinearity, in one space dimension or in higher dimension under radial symmetry outside the origin.
This paper is devoted to study the dispersive properties of the linear Klein-Gordon and wave equations on a class of locally symmetric spaces. As a consequence, we obtain the Strichartz estimate and prove global well-posedness results for the corresponding semilinear equation with low regularity data as on real hyperbolic spaces.
In this article we present some results on the existence of positive and ground state solutions for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon-Maxwell equations. We introduce a general nonlinearity with subcritical and supercritical growth which does not require the usual Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. The proof is based on variational methods and perturbation arguments.
Local well-posedness for the Dirac - Klein - Gordon equations is proven in one space dimension, where the Dirac part belongs to H^{-{1/4}+ε} and the Klein - Gordon part to H^{{1/4}-ε} for 0 < ε< 1/4, and global well-posedness, if the Dirac part belongs to the charge class L^2 and the Klein - Gordon part to H^k with 0 < k < 1/2 . The proof uses a null structure in both nonlinearities detected by d'Ancona, Foschi and Selberg and bilinear estimates in spaces of Bourgain-Klainerman-Machedon type.
We prove global well-posedness and scattering for the massive Dirac-Klein-Gordon system with small initial data of subcritical regularity in dimension three. To achieve this, we impose a non-resonance condition on the masses.
In this paper we discuss some exact results related to the fractional Klein--Gordon equation involving fractional powers of the D'Alembert operator. By means of a space-time transformation, we reduce the fractional Klein--Gordon equation to a fractional hyper-Bessel-type equation. We find an exact analytic solution by using the McBride theory of fractional powers of hyper-Bessel operators. A discussion of these results within the framework of linear dispersive wave equations is provided. We also present exact solutions of the fractional Klein-Gordon equation in the higher dimensional cases. Fi…
We consider the global dynamics below the ground state energy for the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system in the 3D radial case; and obtain the dichotomy between scattering and finite time blow up.
We obtain a dispersive long-time decay in weighted energy norms for solutions of the 3D Klein-Gordon equation with generic potential. The decay extends the results obtained by Jensen and Kato for the 3D Schredinger equation. For the proof we modify the spectral approach of Jensen and Kato to make it applicable to relativistic equations.
We obtain explicit characterization of spectral and orbital stability of solitary wave solutions to the $\mathbf{U}(1)$-invariant Klein--Gordon equation in one spatial dimension coupled to an anharmonic oscillator. We also give the complete analysis of the spectrum of the linearization at a solitary wave.
We prove scattering of solutions below the energy norm of the 3D Klein-Gordon equation for 5>p>3. In order to do that, we generate an exponential-type decay estimate in H^{s}, s<1, by means of concentration and a low-high frequency decomposition.
We study the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation on a product space $M=\R\times X$ with metric $\tilde{g}=dt^2-g$ where $g$ is the scattering metic on $X$. We establish the global-in-time Strichartz estimate for Klein-Gordon equation without loss of derivative by using the microlocalized spectral measure of Laplacian on scattering manifold showed in \cite{HZ} and a Littlewood-Paley squarefunction estimate proved in \cite{Zhang}. We prove the global existence and scattering for a family of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations for small initial data with minimum regularity on this setting.
In this paper, developing a new approach based on Fourier analysis methods for dispersive PDEs, we establish a low regularity NLS approximation for the one-dimensional cubic Klein-Gordon equation. Our main result includes energy class solutions which are formally asymptotically in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. A precise rate of convergence is also obtained assuming more regularity.
We prove that the critical Maxwell-Klein Gordon equation on R4+1 is globally well-posed for smooth initial data which are small in the energy. This reduces the problem of global regularity for large, smooth initial data to precluding concentration of energy.
We are interested in studying the coupled wave and Klein-Gordon equations with null quadratic nonlinearities in $\mathbb{R}^{2+1}$. We want to establish the small data global existence result, and in addition, we also demonstrate the pointwise asymptotic behaviour of the solution to the coupled system. The initial data are not required to have compact support, and this is achieved by applying the Alinhac's ghost weight method to both the wave and the Klein-Gordon equations.
This is the first of the two papers devoted to the study of global regularity of the 3+1 dimensional Einstein-Klein-Gordon system with a $U(1)\times \mathbb{R}$ isometry group. In this first part, we reduce the Cauchy problem of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon system to a 2+1 dimensional system. Then, we will give energy estimates and construct the null coordinate system, under which we finally show that the first possible singularity can only occur at the axis.
The Cauchy problem for the Klein-Gordon equation under the quartic potential is considered in the de Sitter spacetime. The existence of the global solution is shown based on the mechanism of the spontaneous symmetry breaking for the small positive Hubble constant. The effects of the spatial expansion and contraction on the problem are considered.
In this paper we consider a Klein-Gordon model with time-dependent periodic coefficients. The aim is to investigate how the presence of the mass term influences energy estimates with respect to the case of vanishing mass, already treated in [18]. The approach is based on a diagonalisation argument for high frequencies and a contradiction argument for bounded frequencies.
Using the hyperboloidal foliation method, we establish stability results for a coupled wave-Klein-Gordon system with quadratic nonlinearities. In particular, we investigate quadratic wave-Klein-Gordon interactions in which there are no derivatives on the massless wave component. By combining hyperboloidal energy estimates with appropriate transformations of our fields, we are able to show global existence of solutions for sufficiently small initial data.
The purpose of this paper is to construct small-amplitude breather solutions for a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation posed on a periodic metric graph via spatial dynamics and center manifold reduction. The major difficulty occurs from the irregularity of the solutions. The persistence of the approximately constructed pulse solutions under higher order perturbations can be shown for two symmetric solutions.
It is shown that the spatial Sobolev norms of regular global solutions of the (2+1),(3+1) and (4+1)-dimensional Klein-Gordon-Schroedinger system and the (2+1) and (3+1)-dimensional Zakharov system grow at most polynomially with the bound depending on the regularity class of the data. The proof uses the Fourier restriction norm method.
