Hyperboloidal evolution and global dynamics for the focusing cubic wave equation
Abstract
The focusing cubic wave equation in three spatial dimensions has the explicit solution $\sqrt{2}/t$. We study the stability of the blowup described by this solution as $t \to 0$ without symmetry restrictions on the data. Via the conformal invariance of the equation we obtain a companion result for the stability of slow decay in the framework of a hyperboloidal initial value formulation. More precisely, we identify a codimension-1 Lipschitz manifold of initial data leading to solutions which converge to Lorentz boosts of $\sqrt{2}/t$ as $t\to\infty$. These global solutions thus exhibit a slow nondispersive decay, in contrast to small data evolutions.
