Bilinear Eigenfunction Estimates and the Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation on Surfaces
Abstract
We study the cubic non linear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) on compact surfaces. On the sphere S2 and more generally on Zoll surfaces, we prove that, for s>1/4, NLS is uniformly well-posed in Hs, which is sharp on the sphere. The main ingredient in our proof is a sharp bilinear estimate for Laplace spectral projectors on compact surfaces. On \'etudie l'\'equation de Schr\"odinger non lin\'eaire (NLS) sur une surface compacte.Sur la sph\`ere S2 et plus g\'en\'eralement sur toute surface de Zoll, on d\'emontre que pour s>1/4, NLS est uniform\'ement bien pos\'ee dans Hs, ce qui est optimalsur la sph\`ere. Le principal ingr\'edient de notre d\'emonstration est une estimation bilin\'eaire pour les projecteurs spectraux du laplacien sur une surface compacte.
