On the blow – up of solutions to semilinear damped wave equations with power nonlinearity in compact Lie groups

In this note, we prove a blow-up result for the semilinear damped wave equation in a compact Lie group with power nonlinearity |u|^p for any p>1, under suitable integral sign assumptions for the initial data, by using an iteration argument. A byproduct of this method is the upper bound estimate for the lifespan of a local in time solution. As a preliminary result, a local (in time) existence result is proved in the energy space via Fourier analysis on compact Lie groups.
