Global Solutions of Evolutionary Faddeev Model With Small Initial Data
Preprint
Abstract
We consider the Cauchy problem for evolutionary Faddeev model corresponding to maps from the Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^{1 + n}$ to the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$, which obey a system of non-linear wave equations. The nonlinearity enjoys the null structure and contains semi-linear terms, quasi-linear terms and unknowns themselves. We prove that the Cauchy problem is globally well-posed for sufficiently small initial data in Sobolev space.
