Refined probabilistic local well-posedness for a cubic Schr\"odinger half-wave equation

Abstract

We obtain probabilistic local well-posedness in quasilinear regimes for the Schr\"odinger half-wave equation with a cubic nonlinearity. We need to use a refined ansatz because of the lack of probabilistic smoothing in the Picard's iterations, which is due to the high-low-low frequency interactions. The proof is an adaptation of the method of Bringmann on the derivative nonlinear wave equation to Schr\"odinger-type equations. In addition, we discuss ill-posedness results for this equation.
