Global Dynamics above the Ground State Energy for the One-dimensional Nlkg Equation

In this paper we obtain a global characterization of the dynamics of even solutions to the one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon (NLKG) equation on the line with focusing nonlinearity |u|u, p > 5, provided their energy exceeds that of the ground state only sightly. The method is the same as in the three-dimensional case [15], the major difference being in the construction of the center-stable manifold. The difficulty there lies with the weak dispersive decay of 1-dimensional NLKG. In order to address this specific issue, we establish local dispersive estimates for the perturbed linear Klein-Gordon equation, similar to those of Mizumachi [14]. The essential ingredient for the latter class of estimates is the absence of a threshold resonance of the linearized operator.
