Abstract

We prove the existence of global solutions to the nonlinear wave equation in R1+3\mathbb{R}^{1+3} ΦttΔΦ±ΦΦp1=0\Phi_{tt} - \Delta \Phi \pm \Phi|\Phi|^{p-1} = 0 in the energy-supercritical regime p>5p>5, for a class of large initial data. Our initial data can be decomposed into two pieces, one which is dispersed in the sense of having large L2L^2 norm, while the other piece takes a localised short-pulse form. Consequently, we can obtain global existence for a class of initial data which is large in every homogeneous Sobolev norm H˙xs\dot{H}^s_x with s0s \geq 0.
