Almost sure global well-posedness for the energy-critical defocusing nonlinear wave equation on \(\mathbb R^d\), \(d=4\) and \(5\) (Q2012452)

There is an investigation on the global-in-time behavior of solutions of a Cauchy problem for the energy-critical defocusing nonlinear wave equation on \( \mathbb R^d\), \(d=4\) or \(d=5\), with random and rough initial data. An almost sure local well-posedness result for the energy-critical defocusing nonlinear wave equation with Wiener randomized initial data is proved first. Nonlinear estimates from this proof together with some improved global-in-time Strichartz estimates yield to a probabilistic small data global result. After presenting different aspects of the deterministic local well-posedness and ``good'' deterministic well-posedness theory, a large part of the paper is devoted to the proof of main result concerning the almost sure global well-posedness. Actually one proves that under some assumptions and for given initial data, the considered energy-critical defocusing nonlinear wave equation admits a unique global solution. The proof is based on a probabilistic perturbation theory. A result on probabilistic continuous dependence of the flow of the equation on the initial data, for \(d=4\), is proved in the last section of the paper. An excellent work.
