Abstract: We prove the boundedness of global classical solutions for the semilinear heat equation utDeltau=|u|p1u in the whole space Rn, with nge3 and supercritical power p>(n+2)/(n2). This is proved { mb without any radial symmetry or sign assumptions}, unlike in all the previously known results for the Cauchy problem, and under spatial decay assumptions on the initial data that are essentially optimal in view of the known counter-examples. Moreover, we show that any global classical solution has to decay in time faster than t1/(p1), which is also optimal and in contrast with the subcritical case. The proof relies on nontrivial modifications of techniques developed by Chou, Du and Zheng [Calc. Var. PDE 2007] and by Blatt and Struwe [IMRN, 2015] for the case of convex bounded domains. They are based on weighted energy estimates of Giga-Kohn type, combined with an analysis of the equation in a suitable Morrey space. We in particular simplify the approach of Blatt and Struwe by establishing and using a result on global existence and decay for small initial data in the critical Morrey space M2,4/(p1)(Rn), rather than eps-regularity in a parabolic Morrey space. This method actually works for any convex, bounded or unbounded, smooth domain, but at the same time captures some of the specific behaviors associated with the case of the whole space Rn. As a consequence we also prove that the set of initial data producing global solutions is open in suitable topologies, and we show that the so-called "borderline" global weak solutions blow up in finite time and then become classical again and decay as toinfty. All these results put into light the key role played by the Morrey space M2,4/(p1) in the understanding of the structure of the set of global solutions for p>pS.
