Growth of Sobolev norms for time dependent periodic Schrödinger equations with sublinear dispersion (Q1720290)

The purpose of this article is to study growth of Sobolev norms for Schrödinger equations \[ \partial_t u = i\mathcal{V}(\omega t)[u] \] on the one-dimensional torus \(\mathbb{T}\). \(\mathcal{V}\) is a \(L^2\) selfadjoint, pseudo-differential Schrödinger operator. The main theorems assert that given \(t_0 \in\mathbb{R}\), \(s\geq 0\), \(u_0 \in H^ s (\mathbb{T})\), for most values of the parameters \(\omega\), the corresponding Cauchy problem \[ \begin{cases}\partial_t u = i\mathcal{V}(\omega t)[u]\\ u(t_ 0 , x) = u_ 0 (x) \end{cases} \] admits a unique solution \(u(t)\), which satisfies certain bounds. First, some notation is introduced, e.g. Fourier coefficients, the space of bounded linear operators on Banach spaces. The main theorems will be deduced by two normal form theorems, which are proved by a normal form procedure, which transforms the vector field into another one. Finally, the regularization procedure on the vector field is conducted by reduction of the highest order and reduction of the lower order terms. The proofs use Duhamel principle, Egorov theorem, Hilbert transform and Riesz-Thorin interpolation theorem.
