Abstract

We study the flow map associated to the cubic Schrodinger equation in space dimension at least three. We consider initial data of arbitrary size in Hs, where 0<s<sc, sc the critical index, and perturbations in H, where <sc is independent of s. We show an instability mechanism in some Sobolev spaces of order smaller than s. The analysis relies on two features of super-critical geometric optics: creation of oscillation, and ghost effect.
