The Cauchy problem for the two dimensional Euler–Poisson system

Dong Li, Yifei Wu (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The Euler-Poisson system is a fundamental two-fluid model to describe the dynamics of the plasma consisting of compressible electrons and a uniform ion background. In the 3D case Guo [7] first constructed a global smooth irrotational solution by using the dispersive Klein-Gordon effect. It has been conjectured that same results should hold in the two-dimensional case. In our recent work [13], we proved the existence of a family of smooth solutions by constructing the wave operators for the 2D system....

The null condition and global existence for nonlinear wave equations on slowly rotating Kerr spacetimes

Jonathan Luk (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study a semilinear equation with derivatives satisfying a null condition on slowly rotating Kerr spacetimes. We prove that given sufficiently small initial data, the solution exists globally in time and decays with a quantitative rate to the trivial solution. The proof uses the robust vector field method. It makes use of the decay properties of the linear wave equation on Kerr spacetime, in particular the improved decay rates in the region { r t 4 } .
