Abstract
|
We consider a system of quasilinear wave equations on the product space
,
which we want to see as a toy model for the Einstein equations with additional
compact dimensions. We show global existence of solutions for small and regular
initial data with polynomial decay at infinity. The method combines energy estimates on
hyperboloids inside the light cone and weighted energy estimates outside the light cone.
