Abstract

In this note, we study the semilinear wave equation with power nonlinearity \(|u|^p\) on compact Lie groups. First, we prove a local in time existence result in the energy space via Fourier analysis on compact Lie groups. Then, we prove a blow-up result for the semilinear Cauchy problem for any \(p>1\), under suitable sign assumptions for the initial data. Furthermore, sharp lifespan estimates for local (in time) solutions are derived.
