In this work, we prove that the quintic energy critical wave inside a cylindrical convex domain
with smooth boundary
is well-posed in energy space. The dispersive estimates found in [1] and the Strichartz estimates found in [2] are essential resources for demonstrating local well-posedness. We note that our findings on the local and global existence of the wave equation solution in the cylindrical domain setting interpolate between those in any bounded domains in
and in Euclidean space
. Furthermore, when combined with the trace estimates and the nonconcentration of nonlinear effect in a small light cone, the result of the Strichartz estimates in our context is strong enough to allow us to extend local to global well-posedness.
