On the global behaviors for defocusing semilinear wave equations in $\mathbb{R}^{1+2}$

Vol. 15 (2022), No. 1, 245–272
Abstract

We study the asymptotic decay properties for defocusing semilinear wave equations in 1+2 with pure power nonlinearity. By applying new vector fields to the null hyperplane, we derive improved time decay of the potential energy, with a consequence that the solution scatters both in the critical Sobolev space and energy space for all p > 1 + 8. Moreover, combined with Brezis–Gallouet–Wainger-type of logarithmic Sobolev embedding, we show that the solution decays pointwise with sharp rate t12 when p > 11 3 and with rate t(p1)8+𝜖 for all 1 < p 11 3 . This in particular implies that the solution scatters in energy space when p > 25 1.
