Title: Global well-posedness for the energy critical Massive Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equation with small data

Abstract: We discuss the global well-posedness and modified scattering for the massive Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equation in the Coulomb gauge on R1+d (d4) for data with small critical Sobolev norm. This extends to m2>0 the results of Krieger-Sterbenz-Tataru (d=4,5) and Rodnianski-Tao (d6).

The proof is based on generalizing the global parametrix construction for the covariant wave operator and the functional framework from the massless case to the Klein-Gordon setting. The equation exhibits a trilinear cancelation structure identified by Machedon-Sterbenz. To treat it one needs sharp L2 null form bounds, which are proved by estimating renormalized solutions in null frames spaces similar to the ones considered by Bejenaru-Herr.
To overcome logarithmic divergences we rely on an embedding property of ◻1 in conjunction with endpoint Strichartz estimates in Lorentz spaces.
