Global solution to the 3D Dirac--Klein-Gordon system with uniform energy bounds

Abstract

On the (1+3) dimensional Minkowski spacetime, for small, regular initial data, it is well-known that the Dirac-Klein-Gordon system admits a global solution. In the present paper, we aim to establish the uniform boundedness of the total energy of the solution for this system. The proof relies on Klainerman's vector field and Alinhac's ghost weight methods. The main difficulty originates from the slow decay nature of the Dirac and wave components in three space dimensions. To overcome the difficulty, a sharp understanding of the structure for this system, and a new weighted conformal energy estimate are required. In addition, we also provide a few scattering results for the system.
