Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for the stochastic Hartree nonlinear wave equations (SHNLW) with a cubic convolution nonlinearity and an additive stochastic forcing on the Euclidean space. Our goal in this paper is two-fold. (i) We study the defocusing energy-critical SHNLW on Rd, for d≥5, and prove that they are globally well-posed with deterministic initial data in the energy space. (ii) Next, we consider the well-posedness of the defocusing energy-critical SHNLW with randomized initial data below the energy space. In particular, when d=5, we prove that it is almost surely globally well-posed. As a byproduct, by removing the stochastic forcing our result covers the study of the (deterministic) Hartree nonlinear wave equation (HNLW) with randomized initial data below the energy space. The main ingredients in the globalization argument involve the probabilistic perturbation approach by Bényi-Oh-Pocovnicu (2015) and Pocovnicu (2017), time integration by parts trick of Oh-Pocovnicu (2016), and an estimate of the Hartree potential energy.
