A uniqueness theorem for 3D semilinear wave equations satisfying the null condition

Abstract

We prove a uniqueness theorem for a system of semilinear wave equations satisfying the null condition in 1+3. Suppose that two global solutions with Cc initial data have equal initial data outside a ball and equal radiation fields outside a light cone. We show that these two solutions are equal either outside a hyperboloid or everywhere in the spacetime, depending on the sizes of the ball and the light cone.
