Nondispersive decay for the cubic wave equation

##### Abstract

We consider the hyperboloidal initial value problem for the cubic focusing wave equation

$\left(-{\partial }_{t}^{2}+{\Delta }_{x}\right)v\left(t,x\right)+v{\left(t,x\right)}^{3}=0,\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}x\in {ℝ}^{3}.$

Without symmetry assumptions, we prove the existence of a codimension-4 Lipschitz manifold of initial data that lead to global solutions in forward time which do not scatter to free waves. More precisely, for any $\delta \in \left(0,1\right)$, we construct solutions with the asymptotic behavior

$\parallel v-{v}_{0}{\parallel }_{{L}^{4}\left(t,2t\right){L}^{4}\left({B}_{\left(1-\delta \right)t}\right)}\lesssim {t}^{-\frac{1}{2}+}$

as $t\to \infty$, where ${v}_{0}\left(t,x\right)=\sqrt{2}∕t$ and ${B}_{\left(1-\delta \right)t}:=\left\{x\in {ℝ}^{3}:|x|<\left(1-\delta \right)t\right\}$.
