Quasiperiodic soliton solutions to nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations on \(R^ 2\) (Q1116383)

We prove the existence and the regularity of time-quasiperiodic solutions to certain nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations on \(R^ 2\). Those solutions decay exponentially rapidly toward a constant equilibrium solution as the spatial variable goes to plus or minus infinity, and their spectrum consists of integral linear combinations of finitely many Q-independent prescribed frequencies. They are obtained by taking the diagonal section of certain exponentially decaying multiperiodic functions which we construct as solutions to auxiliary Cauchy problems associated with certain infinite-dimensional systems on tori. The main difficulty to overcome in our construction is a small divisor problem. It stems from the fact that the spectrum of the infinitesimal generator associated with the linearized equations consists of the union of a countable point spectrum and of a continuous spectrum in which the point spectrum is everywhere dense. The solution to the above problem requires no use of KAM - or related methods.
