Scattering for defocusing energy subcritical nonlinear wave equations

Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for the defocusing power type nonlinear wave equation in $(1+3)$-dimensions for energy subcritical powers $p$ in the range $3 < p< 5$. We prove that any solution is global-in-time and scatters to free waves in both time directions as long as its critical Sobolev norm stays bounded on the maximal interval of existence.
