I will prove global existence and scattering for coupled nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with different velocities, in dimension 3, and for small and localized data. This can be seen as a toy model for the Euler-Maxwell equations (acoustic and electromagnetic waves propagating at different velocities). As I will show, it is also very interesting from a mathematical point of view, since the space-time resonant structure has some generic properties.
