On existence and scattering theory for the Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger system in an infinite \(L^{2}\)-norm setting (Q2350648)

The authors study local and global mild solutions of the initial value problem for the coupled Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger (KGS) system in \(n\in \mathbb{N}\) spatial dimensions \[ i\partial_t u +\Delta u = -u|u|^{\sigma-1}v|v|^{\lambda-1}, \qquad x\in \mathbb{R}^n, t\in \mathbb{R} \] \[ \partial_t^2v-\Delta v+v= |u|^\rho, \qquad x\in \mathbb{R}^n, t\in \mathbb{R} \] with \(\sigma,\lambda \geq 1, \rho \geq 2\), which includes the classical Yukawa's model (\(\sigma=\lambda=1,\rho=2\)). The main contribution is the fact that the mild solutions are proved in the setting of infinite \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)\) data by working in the Marcinkiewicz space \(L^{(r,\infty)}\), i.e. the so called weak \(L^r\)-space. Elements of \(L^{(r,\infty)}\) have infinite \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)\) mass but are locally \(L^2\) when \(r>2\). A mild solution is defined as a solution of the integral equations generated by applying the free groups associated with the linear Schrödinger and the linear Klein-Gordon equations. The paper presents firstly local-in-time resp. global-in-time existence results under additional assumptions on \(\lambda,\sigma,\rho\) and under the assumption of boundedness of the linear solutions in a suitable scaled \(L^{(r,\infty)}\) space on a bounded time interval resp. for all \(t\in \mathbb{R}\). The assumption on the linear solutions is interpreted as an assumption on the initial data. The proof of the existence results is based on the Banach fixed point theorem. In addition, the authors present asymptotic results for \(|t|\to \infty\). From a given solution of the nonlinear problem initial data can be constructed such that the linear evolution applied to this data describes the asymptotics of the nonlinear solution.
