Global and blow-up solutions for a non-local integrable equation with applications to geometry

Nilay Duruk Mutlubas, Igor Leite Freire

TL;DR

The paper analyzes a non-local, Camassa-Holm–type evolution equation tied to pseudospherical geometry. It establishes global well-posedness in high-order Sobolev spaces under a nonnegative initial momentum and proves a sharp finite-time blow-up criterion when this sign condition fails, including an explicit blow-up time formula. An inductive hierarchy of energy functionals demonstrates the propagation of regularity across spatial derivatives, applicable to both periodic and non-periodic domains. The authors then connect these PDE results to geometry, showing that the solutions generate metrics of Gaussian curvature $-1$ on pseudospherical surfaces, with the metric degenerating at blow-up.

Abstract

We establish the global existence of higher-order Sobolev solutions for a non-local integrable evolution equation arising in the study of pseudospherical surfaces and non-linear wave propagation. Under a natural assumption on the initial momentum, we prove that the solution remains globally regular in arbitrary finite-order Sobolev spaces. The proof relies on an inductive energy method involving a hierarchy of functional estimates and applies to both the periodic and non-periodic settings. We determine a criterion for the existence of blow-up solutions. The consequences of these qualitative properties of the solutions on Riemannian surfaces determined by the solutions of the equation are investigated.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $n\in{\mathbb N}$ and $m_0:=u_0-u_0"\in H^n(\mathbb{K})\cap L^1(\mathbb{K})$. If $m_0(x)\geq0$, for any $x\in \mathbb{K}$, then the corresponding solution $u$ of $x\in \mathbb{R}$, exists globally in time, that is, $u\in C^{0}([0,\infty),H^{n+2}(\mathbb{K}))\cap C^{1}([0,\infty),H^{n+1}(\mathbb. {K}))$. Whenever $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{S}$ we have the additional periodic condition $u(t,x)=u(t,x+1
