The theory of the cubic NLS on the circle is as follows.

  • LWP for s\ge 0\, Bo1993.
    • For s<0\, one has failure of uniform local well-posedness CtCoTa-p, BuGdTz-p. In fact, the solution map is not even continuous from H^s\, to H^{\sigma}\, for any σ, even for small times and small data CtCoTa-p3.
  • GWP for s \ge 0\, thanks to L^2\, conservation Bo1993.
    • One also has GWP for random data whose Fourier coefficients decay like 1/|k|\, (times a Gaussian random variable) Bo1995c. Indeed one has an invariant measure.
  • If the cubic non-linearity is of \underline{uuu}\, type (instead of |u|^2u\,) then one can obtain LWP for s > -1/3\, Gr-p2
  • Remark: This equation is completely integrable AbMa1981; all higher order integer Sobolev norms stay bounded. Growth of fractional norms might be interesting, though.
