KAM for the Klein Gordon equation on \(\mathbb {S}^d\) (Q295305): Difference between revisions

The paper under review considers the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation \[ (\partial_{t}^{2}-\Delta+m+\delta M_{\rho})u+\varepsilon g(x,u)=0,\quad t\in\mathbb{R}, x\in\mathbb{S}^{d} \] where \(M_{\rho}\) is a harmonic multiplier and \(g(x,u)\) is a real analytic function on \(\mathbb{S}^{d}\times\mathbb{R}\) such that \(g\) vanishes at least at order two in the second variable at the origin. Moreover, \(\delta>0\) and \(\varepsilon>0\) are small parameters. They proved that for most choices of an external parameter \(\rho\), the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation admits linearly stable quasi-periodic solutions by an abstract KAM theorem, which can apply to any multidimensional PDE with regularizing nonlinearity and satisfying the second Melnikov condition. The techniques and proofs are based on [\textit{L. H. Eliasson} et al., Ann. Math. 172, No. 1, 371--435 (2009; Zbl 1201.35177)] for the multidimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation and [\textit{L. H. Eliasson} et al., ``KAM for the nonlinear beam equation. I: Small amplitude solutions'', Preprint, \url{arXiv: 1412.2803}] for the multidimensional nonlinear beam equation. The novelty lies in the use of a different norm on the Hessian matrix and two different classes of Hamiltonians used in [the first author and \textit{L. Thomann}, Commun. Math. Phys. 307, No. 2, 383--427 (2011; Zbl 1250.81033)]. Moreover, for a linear \(d\)-dimensional Schrödinger equation on \(\mathbb{R}^{d}\) with harmonic potential \(|x|^{2}\) and small \(t\)-quasi-periodic potential \[ \mathrm{i}\partial_{t}u-\Delta u + |x|^{2}u+\varepsilon V(t\omega,x)u=0, \;\;x\in\mathbb{R}^{d}, \] this abstract KAM theorem can reduce it to an autonomous systems, see [the authors, ``On reducibility of the quantum harmonic oscillator with quasiperiodic in time potential on \(\mathbb{R}^{d}\)'', Preprint, \url{arXiv: 1603.07455}].
