Abstract

On the three dimensional Euclidean space, for data with finite energy, it is well-known that the Maxwell–Klein–Gordon equations admit global solutions. However, the asymptotic behavior of the solutions for the data with non-vanishing charge and arbitrary large size is unknown. It is conjectured that the solutions disperse as linear waves and enjoy the so-called peeling properties for pointwise estimates.We provide a gauge independent proof of the conjecture.

Keywords
