X Abstract

We study the singularity formation of smooth solutions of the relativistic Euler equations in $(3+1)$-dimensional spacetime for both finite initial energy and infinite initial energy. For the finite initial energy case, we prove that any smooth solution, with compactly supported non-trivial initial data, blows up in finite time. For the case of infinite initial energy, we first prove the existence, uniqueness and stability of a smooth solution if the initial data is in the subluminal region away from the vacuum. By further assuming the initial data is a smooth compactly supported perturbation around a non-vacuum constant background, we prove the property of finite propagation speed of such a perturbation. The smooth solution is shown to blow up in finite time provided that the radial component of the initial "generalized" momentum is sufficiently large.
