We study here the Cauchy problem associated with the isentropic and compressible Euler equations for Chaplygin gases. Based on the new formulation of the compressible Euler equations in J. Luk and J. Speck [The hidden null structure of the compressible Euler equations and a prelude to applications, J. Hyperbolic Differ. Equ. 17 (2020) 1–60] we show that the wave system satisfied by the modified density and the velocity for Chaplygin gases satisfies the weak null condition. We then prove the global existence of smooth solutions to the irrotational and isentropic Chaplygin gases without introducing a potential function, when the initial data are small perturbations to a constant state.
