Global stability of the Dirac-Klein-Gordon system in two and three space dimensions (Q6588099)

This paper studies the existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the Dirac-Klein-Gordon system\N\[\N\begin{aligned} i\gamma^\mu\partial_\mu \psi+M\psi&=v\psi\\\Nv_{tt}-\Delta v+v&=\psi^*\gamma^0\psi, \end{aligned}\N\]\Nin space dimensions \(n=2,3\). Above \(\gamma^\mu\), \(\mu=0,\dots,n\) are Dirac matrices, \(\psi\) is a spinor field and \(v\) is scalar field. In dimension \(n=2\) the mass parameter \(M=0\) and in \(n=3\) it is assumed that \(M\in [0,1]\). In both cases the initial data is taken to be small and suitably decaying at infinity. In each case the global existence with sharp time decay estimates and linear scattering results are proven. When \(n=3\) the smallness of the initial data is independent on the mass parameter \(M\). The results of this paper are new in dimension \(n=3\).
