Global dynamics above the ground state energy for the one-dimensional NLKG equation (Q455617)

In this investigation, the authors obtain a global characterization of the dynamics of even solutions to the one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon (NLKG) equation on the line with focusing nonlinearity \({|u|^{p-1}u, p > 5}\), provided their energy exceeds that of the ground state only sightly. The method is the same as in the three-dimensional case [\textit{K. Nakanishi} and \textit{W. Schlag}, J. Differ. Equations 250, No. 5, 2299--2333 (2011; Zbl 1213.35307)], the major difference being in the construction of the center-stable manifold. The difficulty there lies with the weak dispersive decay of 1-dimensional NLKG. In order to address this specific issue, the writers establish local dispersive estimates for the perturbed linear Klein-Gordon equation, similar to those of \textit{T. Mizumachi} [J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 48, No. 3, 471--497 (2008; Zbl 1175.35138)]. The essential ingredient for the latter class of estimates is the absence of a threshold resonance of the linearized operator.
