Abstract: Assuming initial data have small weighted H4imesH3 norm, we prove global existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for systems of quasi-linear wave equations in three space dimensions satisfying the null condition of Klainerman. Compared with the work of Christodoulou, our result assumes smallness of data with respect to H4imesH3 norm having a lower weight. Our proof uses the space-time L2 estimate due to Alinhac for some special derivatives of solutions to variable-coefficient wave equations. It also uses the conformal energy estimate for inhomogeneous wave equation Boxu=F. A new observation made in this paper is that, in comparison with the proofs of Klainerman and H"ormander, we can limit the number of occurrences of the generators of hyperbolic rotations or dilations in the course of a priori estimates of solutions. This limitation allows us to obtain global solutions for radially symmetric data, when a certain norm with considerably low weight is small enough.
