More than 20 years ago, Soffer-Weinstein considered a class of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with nice potentials. For the first time they proved that spatially localized and time-periodic solutions of the linear problem are destroyed by generic nonlinear Hamiltonian perturbations via slow radiation of energy to infinity, via energy transfer from the discrete to continuum modes, under the condition that the discrete modes are close to the continuous spectral modes. Since then, a long-standing open question is to study the corresponding problem with small eigenvalues, which was in also raised in the paper of Soffer-Weinstein 1999. In this talk, we will report our recent result on this problem which settles the above open question. This is a joint work with my students Jie Liu and Zhaojie Yang.
