Scattering for the radial 3d cubic wave equation

Analysis of PDEs 2016-01-20 v2

Abstract

Consider the Cauchy problem for the radial cubic wave equation in 1+3 dimensions with either the focusing or defocusing sign. This problem is critical in H˙12×H˙12\dot{H}^{\frac{1}{2}} \times \dot{H}^{-\frac{1}{2}} and subcritical with respect to the conserved energy. Here we prove that if the critical norm of a solution remains bounded on the maximal time-interval of existence, then the solution must in fact be global-in-time and scatter to free waves as t±t \to \pm \infty.
