Wave maps on $(1{+}2)$-dimensional curved spacetimes

Cristian Gavrus, Casey Jao and Daniel Tataru

Vol. 14 (2021), No. 4, 985–1084
Abstract

We initiate the study of (1+2)-dimensional wave maps on a curved space time in the low-regularity setting. Our main result asserts that in this context the wave maps equation is locally well-posed at almost critical regularity.

As a key part of the proof of this result, we generalize the classical optimal bilinear L2 estimates for the wave equation to variable coefficients by means of wave packet decompositions and characteristic energy estimates. This allows us to iterate in a curved Xs,b space.
