On uniqueness for hyperbolic half-wave maps in dimension $d \geq 3$

Silvino Reyes Farina

TL;DR

The paper proves a uniqueness result for the hyperbolic half-wave maps equation with target ${\mathbb H}^2$ in dimensions $d \ge 3$ within the natural energy class. It reformulates the equation as a wave-type system by differentiating in time and uses Nash embedding to work in Euclidean space, where a Euclidean energy controls differences of two solutions. A suite of commutator and Sobolev-inequality estimates, together with fractional Leibniz rules, bounds nonlinear terms and yields a Grönwall-type differential inequality for the energy. Consequently, if two solutions share the same initial data, their energy difference remains zero, establishing uniqueness and contributing to the well-posedness theory for HHWM in higher dimensions.

Abstract

Half-wave maps appear in the physics literature as the continuum limit of Calogero-Moser spin systems. We obtain a uniqueness result for the Half-Wave Maps equation in dimension $d \ge 3$ in the natural energy class with $\mathbb{H}^2$ target. In the proof, we differentiate in time to arrive at a wave-type equation and isometrically embed $\mathbb{H}^2$ into some $\mathbb{R}^m$ using the Nash embedding theorem. Relying on geometric properties of $\mathbb{H}^2$, combined with fractional Leibniz rules and commutator estimates, we then use a Grönwall inequality argument to obtain uniqueness.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $d \ge 3$ and $\alpha \in (1,d+1/2)$, and $\mathbf{u}$,$\mathbf{v}: [0,T] \times \mathbf{R}^d \to \mathbb{H}^2 \hookrightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ are smooth solutions to the half-wave map equation with the same initial data $\mathbf{u}(\cdot,0) = \mathbf{v}(0,\cdot) \in Q + C^\infty_c(\mathbb{R}^d,\m then $\mathbf{u}=\mathbf{v}$.
