Global existence for energy critical waves in 3-D domains
We prove that the defocusing quintic wave equation, with Dirichlet boundary conditions, is globally well posed on $H^1_0(Ω) \times L^2(Ω)$ for any smooth (compact) domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^3$. The main ingredient in the proof is an $L^5$ spectral projector estimate, obtained recently by Smith and Sogge, combined with a precise study of the boundary value problem.
