We prove that the Cauchy problem for the Dirac–Klein–Gordon system of equations in 1D is globally well-posed in a range of Sobolev spaces of negative index for the Dirac spinor and positive index for the scalar field. The main ingredient in the proof is the theory of "almost conservation law" and "I-method" introduced by Colliander, Keel, Staffilani, Takaoka, and Tao. Our proof also relies on the null structure in the system, and bilinear space–time estimates of Klainerman–Machedon type.
