Abstract: We prove global existence from L2 initial data for a nonlinear Dirac equation known as the Thirring model. Local existence in Hs for s>0, and global existence for s>1/2, has recently been proven by Selberg and Tesfahun by using Xs,b spaces together with a type of null form estimate. In contrast, motivated by the recent work of Machihara, Nakanishi, and Tsugawa, we first prove local existence in L2 by using null coordinates, where the time of existence depends on the profile of the initial data. To extend this to a global existence result we need to rule out concentration of L2 norm, or charge, at a point. This is done by decomposing the solution into an approximately linear component and a component with improved integrability. We then prove global existence for all s>0.
