“…The first deals with a semilinear curl-curl wave equation in R 3 × R where −u xx is replaced by ∇ × ∇ × u in (1) and u is a three-dimensional vector field on R 3 . Using that this part in the equation actually vanishes for gradient fields, Plum and Reichel [28] succeed in proving the existence of exponentially localized breather solutions via ODE methods for suitable radially symmetric coefficient functions s, q and power-type nonlinearities f . As far as we know, this is the only result dealing with strongly localized breathers in higher dimensions, i.e., U(t, •) ∈ L 2 (R N ) for almost all t ∈ R. Recently, the second author suggested a new construction of (even in time) breathers [29] for the cubic Klein-Gordon equation that we will refer to as weakly localized in space.…”
