The semilinear Klein-Gordon equation in de Sitter spacetime (Q843358)

The author investigates the blow-up phenomena for the solutions of the semilinear Klein-Gordon equation \(\square_g\phi-m^2 \phi = -|\phi |^p \) with the small mass \(m \leq n/2\) in de Sitter spacetime with the metric \(g\). The article rigorously demonstrates that for every \(p>1\) large energy solutions blow up, on the other hand it gives a borderline \(p=p(m,n)\) for the global in time existence, associated with the small energy solutions. The obsevations are based on the representation formulas for the solution of the Cauchy problem and on some generalizations of Kato's lemma.
