Global well-posedness and scattering of the energy critical Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system in the Lorenz gauge

Abstract: We study initial value problem of the $(1+4)$-dimensional Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system (MKG) in the Lorenz gauge. Since (MKG) in the Lorenz gauge does not possess an obvious null structure, it is not easy to handle the nonlinearity. To overcome this obstacle, we impose an additional angular regularity. In this paper, we prove global well-posedness and scattering of (MKG) for small data in a scale-invariant space which has extra weighted regularity in the angular variables. Our main improvement is to attain the scaling critical regularity exponent and prove global existence of solutions to (MKG) in the Lorenz gauge.
