Review text

The author describes his recent progress made (mainly in collaboration with M. Machedon) on the problem of optimal well posedness in the Sobolev space \(H^s\) of the initial value problem for two classes of nonlinear wave equations: one including Yang-Mills equations in the Lorentz gauge, and the other containing Wave-Maps equations defined from Minkowski space to Riemannian manifold (expressed in local coordinates). Let \(s_c\) be the critical exponent corresponding to the scaling properties of the equations. The author asserts that, when the space dimension \(n\) is greater than 5, the initial value problem is well posed for \(s> s_c\), without any additional assumptions on the nonlinear terms. For lower dimensions \((n\leq 4)\) many interesting results are stated. One of the main ingredients in the author's approach consists in a generalized version of the Strichartz-Pecher inequalities (recently proved by D. Tătaru). Open problems (such as well posedness for the critical case \(s= s_c\)) as well as two conjectures are presented. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0881.00037].
