We show that wave maps $\phi$ from two-dimensional Minkowski space $\R^{1+2}$ to hyperbolic spaces $\H^m$ are globally smooth in time if the initial data is smooth, conditionally on some reasonable claims concerning the local theory of such…

This manuscript is a lightly reformatted version of my 2017 PhD thesis. I am posting it on arXiv at the request of my advisor, Sergiu Klainerman, who noted that it has been useful to some students. The content largely reflects the thesis in…

In the significant work of [2], Alinhac proved the global existence of small solutions for 2D quasilinear wave equations under the null conditions. The proof heavily relies on the fact that the initial data have compact support [22].…

Local well-posedness for the Dirac - Klein - Gordon equations is proven in one space dimension, where the Dirac part belongs to H^{-{1/4}+\epsilon} and the Klein - Gordon part to H^{{1/4}-\epsilon} for 0 < \epsilon < 1/4, and global…
