We prove global existence backwards from the scattering data posed at infinity for the Maxwell Klein Gordon equations in Lorenz gauge satisfying the weak null condition. The asymptotics of the solutions to the Maxwell Klein Gordon equations in Lorenz gauge were shown to be wave like at null infinity and homogeneous towards timelike infinity in arXiv:1803.11086 and expressed in terms of radiation fields, and thus our scattering data will be given in the form of radiation fields in the backward problem. We give a refinement of the asymptotics results in arXiv:1803.11086, and then making use of this refinement, we find a global solution which attains the prescribed scattering data at infinity. Our work starts from the approach in [22] and is more delicate since it involves nonlinearities with fewer derivatives. Our result corresponds to "existence of scattering states" in the scattering theory. The method of proof relies on a suitable construction of the approximate solution from the scattering data, a weighted conformal Morawetz energy estimate and a spacetime version of Hardy inequality.
The Cauchy problem for the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations in Lorenz gauge in $n$ space dimensions ($n \ge 4$) is shown to be locally well-posed for low regularity (large) data. The result relies on the null structure for the main bilinear terms which was shown to be not only present in Coulomb gauge but also in Lorenz gauge by Selberg and Tesfahun, who proved global well-posedness for finite energy data in three space dimensions. This null structure is combined with product estimates for wave-Sobolev spaces. Crucial for the improvement are the solution spaces introduced by Klainerman-Selberg. …
The scattering problem for the Klein-Gordon equation with cubic convolution nonlinearity is considered. Based on the Strichartz estimates for the inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon equation we prove the existence of the scattering operator.
Roughly speaking a solitary wave is a solution of a field equation whose energy travels as a localized packet and which preserves this localization in time. A solitary wave which has a non-vanishing angular momentum is called vortex. We know (at least) three mechanisms which might produce solitary waves and vortices: 1) Complete integrability, (e.g. Kortewg-de Vries equation) 2) Topological constraints, (e.g. Sine-Gordon equation); 3) Ratio energy/charge: (e.g. the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation). The third type of solitary waves or solitons will be called hylomorphic. This class includes the…
We show asymptotic completeness for the charged Klein-Gordon equation in the exterior De Sitter-Reissner-Nordström spacetime when the product of the charge of the black hole with the charge of Klein-Gordon field is small enough. We then interpret scattering as asymptotic transports along principal null geodesics in a Kaluza-Klein extension of the original spacetime.
We are interested in the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations in $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}$, and we aim to show that the energy for the global solution to the equations is uniformly bounded, and we do not require the compactness assumption on the initial data. To achieve these goals, the key is to apply Alinhac's ghost weight energy estimates adapted to the Klein-Gordon equations.
Consider the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations in $\mathbb{R}^{1+2}$, and we are interested in establishing the small global solution to the equations and in investigating the pointwise asymptotic behavior of the solution. The Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations can be regarded as a coupled semilinear wave and Klein-Gordon system with quadratic nonlinearities which do not satisfy the null conditions, and the fact that wave components and Klein-Gordon components do not decay sufficiently fast makes it harder to conduct the analysis. In order to conquer the difficulties, we will rely on the hyperboloi…
We extend our previous result on the focusing cubic Klein-Gordon equation in three dimensions to the non-radial case, giving a complete classification of global dynamics of all solutions with energy at most slightly above that of the ground state.
We study the one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon (NLKG) equation with a convolution potential, and we prove that solutions with small analytic norm remain small for exponentially long times. The result is uniform with respect to $c \geq 1$, which however has to belong to a set of large measure.
We study the one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon (NLKG) equation with a convolution potential, and we prove that solutions with small $H^s$ norm remain small for long times. The result is uniform with respect to $c \geq 1$, which however has to belong to a set of large measure.
We consider waves, which obey the semilinear Klein-Gordon equation, propagating in the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker spacetimes. The equations in the de Sitter and Einstein-de Sitter spacetimes are the important particular cases. We show the global in time existence in the energy class of solutions of the Cauchy problem.
In this article we construct the fundamental solutions for the Klein-Gordon equation in de Sitter spacetime. We use these fundamental solutions to represent solutions of the Cauchy problem and to prove $L^p-L^q$ estimates for the solutions of the equation with and without a source term.
We study initial value problem of the $(1+4)$-dimensional Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system (MKG) in the Lorenz gauge. Since (MKG) in the Lorenz gauge does not possess an obvious null structure, it is not easy to handle the nonlinearity. To overcome this obstacle, we impose an additional angular regularity. In this paper, we prove global well-posedness and scattering of (MKG) for small data in a scale-invariant space which has extra weighted regularity in the angular variables. Our main improvement is to attain the scaling critical regularity exponent and prove global existence of solutions to (MKG)…
This paper deals with the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system in a bounded spatial domain. We study the existence of solutions having a specific form, namely standing waves in equilibrium with a purely electrostatic field. We prescribe Dirichlet boundary conditions on the matter field, and either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on the electric potential.
The Cauchy problem for the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations in Lorenz gauge in two and three space dimensions is locally well-posed for low regularity data without finite energy. The result relies on the null structure for the main bilinear terms which was shown to be not only present in Coulomb gauge but also in Lorenz gauge by Selberg and Tesfahun, who proved global well-posedness for finite energy data in three space dimensions. This null structure is combined with product estimates for wave-Sobolev spaces given systematically by d'Ancona, Foschi and Selberg.
In this article we will develop some techniques aimed at the strong couplings in two-dimensional wave-Klein-Gordon system. We distinguish the roles of different type of decay factors and develop a method which permits us to "exchange" one type of decay into the other. Then a global existence result of a model problem is established. We also give a sketch of the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system and establish the associate global existence result.
We consider a collisionless ensemble of classical particles coupled to a Klein-Gordon field. For the resulting nonlinear system of partial differential equations, the relativistic Vlasov-Klein-Gordon system, we prove local-in-time existence of classical solutions and a continuation criterion which says that a solution can blow up only if the particle momenta become large. We also show that classical solutions are global in time in the one-dimensional case.
We obtain sharp decay estimates and asymptotics for small solutions to the one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation with constant coefficient cubic and spatially localized, variable coefficient cubic nonlinearities. Vector-field techniques to deal with the long-range nature of the cubic nonlinearity become problematic in the presence of variable coefficients. We introduce a novel approach based on pointwise-in-time local decay estimates for the Klein-Gordon propagator to overcome this impasse.
We study small data scattering of solutions to Nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with suitable pure power nonlinearities, posed on $\mathbb{R}^d\times \mathcal{M}^k$ with $k\leq2$ and $d\geq1$ and $\mathcal{M}^k$ a compact Riemannian manifold. As a special case we cover the $H^1-$critical NLKG on $\mathbb{R} \times M^2$.
In this paper we describe the integral transform that allows to write solutions of one partial differential equation via solution of another one. This transform was suggested by the author in the case when the last equation is a wave equation, and then it was used to investigate several well-known equations such as Tricomi-type equation, the Klein-Gordon equation in the de~Sitter and Einstein-de~Sitter spacetimes. A generalization given in this paper allows us to consider also the Klein-Gordon equations with coefficients depending on the spatial variables.
We show asymptotic completeness for a class of superradiant Klein-Gordon equations. Our results are applied to the Klein-Gordon equation on the De Sitter Kerr metric with small angular momentum of the black hole. For this equation we obtain asymptotic completeness for fixed angular momentum of the field.
In this paper we present explicit formulas for the fundamental solution to the Klein-Gordon operator on some higher dimensional generalizations of the Möbius strip and the Klein bottle with values in distinct pinor bundles. The fundamental solution is described in terms of generalizations of the Weierstraß $\wp$-function that are adapted to the context of these geometries. The explicit formulas for the kernel then allow us to express all solutions to the homogeneous and inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon problem with given boundary data in the context of these manifolds. In the case of the Klein bottl…
It is known that the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system (M-K-G), when written relative to the Coulomb gauge, is globally well-posed for finite-energy initial data. This result, due to Klainerman and Machedon, relies crucially on the null structure of the main bilinear terms of M-K-G in Coulomb gauge. It appears to have been believed that such a structure is not present in Lorenz gauge, but we prove here that it is, and we use this fact to prove finite-energy global well-posedness in Lorenz gauge. The latter has the advantage, compared to Coulomb gauge, of being Lorentz invariant, hence M-K-G in Loren…
The Cauchy problem for the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations in Lorenz gauge in $n$ space dimensions ($n \ge 2$) is locally well-posed for low regularity data, in two and three space dimensions even for data without finite energy. The result relies on the null structure for the main bilinear terms which was shown to be not only present in Coulomb gauge but also in Lorenz gauge by Selberg and Tesfahun, who proved global well-posedness for finite energy data in three space dimensions. This null structure is combined with product estimates for wave-Sobolev spaces given systematically by d'Ancona, Fo…
We report on the well-posedness of the Feynman problem for the Klein-Gordon equation on asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes. The main result is the invertibility of the Klein-Gordon operator with Feynman conditions at infinite times. Furthermore, the inverse is shown to coincide with the Duistermaat-Hörmander Feynman parametrix modulo smoothing terms.
We consider the stability of the toroidal AdS-Schwarzshild black holes as solutions of the Einstein--Klein-Gordon system, with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions for the scalar field. Restricting to perturbations that respect the toroidal symmetry we show both orbital and asymptotic stability for the full nonlinear problem, for a range of choices of the Klein-Gordon mass. The solutions we construct with Neumann boundary conditions have a Hawking mass which diverges towards infinity, reflecting the infinite energy of the Klein-Gordon field for perturbations satisfying these boundary condi…
We construct one-parameter families of solutions to the Einstein--Klein--Gordon equations bifurcating off the Kerr solution such that the underlying family of spacetimes are each an asymptotically flat, stationary, axisymmetric, black hole spacetime, and such that the corresponding scalar fields are non-zero and time-periodic. An immediate corollary is that for these Klein--Gordon masses, the Kerr family is not asymptotically stable as a solution to the Einstein--Klein--Gordon equations.
We prove that finite energy solutions to the nonlinear Schroedinger equation and nonlinear Klein--Gordon equation which have the compact time spectrum have to be one-frequency solitary waves. The argument is based on the generalization of the Titchmarsh convolution theorem to partial convolutions.
This note aims to give prominence to some new results on the absence and localization of eigenvalues for the Dirac and Klein-Gordon operators, starting from known resolvent estimates already established in the literature combined with the renowned Birman-Schwinger principle.
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].
