The weak null conjecture for differentiated semilinear wave systems

Let an asymptotic system correspond to a system of wave equations containing only differentiated semilinear terms. Suppose that the asymptotic system admits global solutions for sufficiently small initial data, and that these solutions grow no faster than

rvϕrcϵ.r\partial_v\phi\sim r^{c\epsilon}.

Weak null conjecture. The original system of wave equations also admits global solutions for sufficiently small initial data.

This conjecture proposes a sufficient refinement of the weak null condition: global existence for the asymptotic system is supplemented by a bound on the growth of its solutions. The supplied text gives no resolution, so its general validity remains open.
