Abstract: In this note, we show that for a large class of nonlinear wave equations with odd nonlinearities, any globally defined odd solution which is small in the energy space decays to 0 in the local energy norm. In particular, this result shows nonexistence of small, odd breathers for some classical nonlinear Klein Gordon equations such as the sine Gordon equation and phi4 and phi6 models. It also partially answers a question of Soffer and Weinstein in cite[p. 19]{MR1681113} about nonexistence of breathers for the cubic NLKG in dimension one.
