Abstract

In this article we study the blow-up phenomena for the solutions of the semilinear Klein-Gordon equation gϕm2ϕ=ϕp\Box_g \phi-m^2 \phi = -|\phi |^p with the small mass mn/2m \le n/2 in de Sitter space-time with the metric gg. We prove that for every p>1p>1 the large energy solution blows up, while for the small energy solutions we give a borderline p=p(m,n)p=p(m,n) for the global in time existence. The consideration is based on the representation formulas for the solution of the Cauchy problem and on some generalizations of the Kato's lemma.
