In this paper, we put forward a cross-constrained variational method to study the non-linear Klein–Gordon equations with an inverse square potential in three space dimensions. By constructing a type of cross-constrained variational problem and establishing so-called cross-invariant manifolds of the evolution flow, we establish some new types of invariant sets for the equation and derive a sharp threshold of blowup and global existence for its solution. Finally, we give an answer to the question how small the initial data are for the global solution to exist.
