The Glassey conjecture on asymptotically flat manifolds

Analysis of PDEs 2015-02-13 v2

Abstract

We verify the 3-dimensional Glassey conjecture on asymptotically flat manifolds (R1+3,g)(R^{1+3}, g), where the metric gg is certain small space-time perturbation of the flat metric, as well as the nontrapping asymptotically Euclidean manifolds. Moreover, for radial asymptotically flat manifolds (R1+n,g)(R^{1+n}, g) with n3n\ge 3, we verify the Glassey conjecture in the radial case. High dimensional wave equations with higher regularity are also discussed. The main idea is to exploit local energy and KSS estimates with variable coefficients, together with the weighted Sobolev estimates including trace estimates.

Final version, to appear in Transactions of the American Mathematical Society. 22 pages. For Theorem 1.4, we have revised the proof and enhanced the result to include nonlinearities involving the full space-time gradient. Typos fixed and references updated
