Bilinear eigenfunction estimates and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on surfaces (Q706148)

The authors prove that the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is uniformly well-posed on the two-dimensional sphere (or more generally on Zoll surfaces) in the Sobolev spaces of order \(s\) bigger than \(1/4\); the assertion is sharp on the sphere. The main tool for proving this are bilinear estimates for Laplace spectral projectors on compact surfaces.
