Abstract

We prove a priori estimates for wave systems of the type ttuΔu=Ωdu+F(u)in Rd×R \partial_{tt} u - \Delta u = \Omega \cdot du + F(u) \quad \text{in $\mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{R}$} where d4d \geq 4 and Ω\Omega is a suitable antisymmetric potential. We show that the assumptions on Ω\Omega are applicable to wave- and half-wave maps, the latter by means of the Krieger-Sire reduction. We thus obtain well-posedness of those equations for small initial data in H˙d2(Rd)\dot{H}^{\frac{d}{2}}(\mathbb{R}^d).
