Global well-posedness for radial extremal hypersurface equation in $\left(1+3 \right)$-dimensional Minkowski space-time in critical Sobolev space

Abstract

In this article, we prove the global well-posedness in the critical Sobolev space $H_{rad}^2\left(\mathbb{R}^2\right) \times H_{rad}^1 \left(\mathbb{R}^2\right)$ for the radial time-like extremal hypersurface equation in $\left(1+3\right)$- dimensional Minkowski space-time. This is achieved by deriving a new div-curl type lemma and combined it with energy and ``momentum" balance law to get some space-time estimates of the nonlinearity.Comment: 34 pages, this version reduces some printing mistake
