We will show that in $\\RR^{2+1}$ semilinear wave equations of the form $-\\Box u = u Q(\\del u; \\del u)$ possess global-in-time solutions if the null condition on $Q(\\del u; \\del u)$ is assumed. As a consequence, we also provide a new proof, after \\cite{Wong}, on the small data global solutions to the wave map equation in $\\RR^{2+1}$ and no compactness assumptions on the initial data are needed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-22T08:28:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "null condition", "semilinear wave equations", "small data global solutions", "wave map equation", "possess global-in-time solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
