Hyperbolic sine-Gordon model beyond the first threshold

Younes Zine

TL;DR

The paper advances the theory of stochastic sine-Gordon dynamics by constructing an invariant Gibbs-dynamics for the hyperbolic model beyond the first well-posedness threshold. It develops a physical-space approach to the Fourier restriction method, coupling nonlinear smoothing for imaginary Gaussian multiplicative chaos with delicate cone-multiplier and light-cone analyses. A multi-layer strategy—first-order expansion, interpolation, and nonlinear smoothing—yields global well-posedness and Gibbs invariance for $2\pi \le \beta^2 < 2\pi(1+(3\sqrt{241}-41)/122)\approx 2.046\pi$, and reveals a surprising critical threshold at $\beta^2=6\pi$ linked to variance blow-up. The work thus extends random-wave/nonequilibrium SPDE techniques to a hyperbolic, non-polynomial setting and lays groundwork for applying physical-space methods to other stochastic wave equations with rough nonlinearities.

Abstract

We study the hyperbolic sine-Gordon model, with a parameter $\be^2 > 0$, and its associated Gibbs dynamics on the two-dimensional torus. By introducing a physical space approach to the Fourier restriction norm method and establishing nonlinear dispersive smoothing for the imaginary multiplicative Gaussian chaos, we construct invariant Gibbs dynamics for the hyperbolic sine-Gordon model beyond the first threshold $\be^2 = 2π$. The deterministic step of our argument hinges on establishing key bilinear estimates, featuring weighted bounds for cone multipliers. Moreover, the probabilistic component involves a careful analysis of the imaginary Gaussian multiplicative chaos and reduces to integrating singularities along space-time light cones. As a by-product of our proof, we identify $\be^2 = 6π$ as a critical threshold for the hyperbolic sine-Gordon model, which is quite surprising given that the associated parabolic model has a critical threshold at $\be^2 =8π$.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $0 < \beta^2 < 2\pi(1 + \frac{3 \sqrt{241} - 41}{122}) \approx 2.046\pi$. Then, the stochastic damped sine-Gordon equation RSdSG is almost surely globally well-posed with respect to the renormalized Gibbs measure $\vec{\rho}$ defined in Gibbs10 and the renormalized Gibbs measure $\vec{\rho}$ is
