We consider a coupled Wave-Klein-Gordon system in 3D, and prove global regularity and modified scattering for small and smooth initial data with suitable decay at infinity. This system was derived by Wang and LeFloch-Ma as a simplified model for the global nonlinear stability of the Minkowski space-time for self-gravitating massive fields.
We prove definitive results on the global stability of the flat space among solutions of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon system. Our main theorems in this monograph include: (1) A proof of global regularity (in wave coordinates) of solutions of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon coupled system, in the case of small, smooth, and localized perturbations of the stationary Minkowski solution; (2) Precise asymptotics of the metric components and the Klein-Gordon field as the time goes to infinity, including the construction of modified (nonlinear) scattering profiles and quantitative bounds for convergence; (3) Classical estimates on the solutions at null and timelike infinity, such as bounds on the metric components, weak peeling estimates of the Riemann curvature tensor, ADM and Bondi energy identities and estimates, and asymptotic description of null and timelike geodesics.
On the three dimensional Euclidean space, for data with finite energy, it is well-known that the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations admit global solutions. However, the asymptotic behaviours of the solutions for the data with non-vanishing charge and arbitrary large size are unknown. It is conjectured that the solutions disperse as linear waves and enjoy the so-called peeling properties for pointwise estimates. We provide a gauge independent proof of the conjecture.
It is known that the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations in $mathbb{R}^{3+1}$ admit global solutions with finite energy data. In this paper, we present a new approach to study the asymptotic behavior of these global solutions. We show the quantitative energy flux decay of the solutions with data merely bounded in some weighted energy space. We also establish an integrated local energy decay and a hierarchy of $r$-weighted energy decay. The results in particular hold in the presence of large total charge. This is the first result to give a complete and precise description of the global behavior of large nonlinear charged scalar fields.
We describe the long time behavior of small non-smooth solutions to the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations on the sphere S^2. More precisely, we prove that the low harmonic energies (also called super-actions) are almost preserved for times of order $epsilon$^--r , where r >> 1 is an arbitrarily large number and $epsilon$ << 1 is the norm of the initial datum in the energy space H^1 x L^2. Roughly speaking, it means that, in order to exchange energy, modes have to oscillate at the same frequency. The proof relies on new multilinear estimates on Hamiltonian vector fields to put the system in Birkhoff normal form. They are derived from new probabilistic bounds on products of Laplace eigenfunctions that we obtain using Levys concentration inequality.
