Abstract: We prove the ill-posedness in $H^s(T)$, $s<0$, of the periodic cubic Schr"odinger equation in the sense that the flow-map is not continuous from $H^s(T)$ into itself for any fixed $teq0$. This result is slightly stronger than the one obtained by Christ-Colliander-Tao where the discontinuity of the solution map is established. Moreover our proof is different and clarifies the ill-posedness phenomena. Our approach relies on a new result on the behavior of the associated flow-map with respect to the weak topology of $L^2(T)$.

Review text

The ill-posedness in \(H^s(T)\), \(s>0\), of the cubic Schrödinger equation \[ i u_t + u_{xx}+ \gamma |u|^2 u \;\;(\gamma \neq 0) \] in the periodic setting (u(x,t) is a function from \(R \times T\) to \(C\), \(T :=R/2 \pi Z\) ) is proved in the sense that the flow-map is not continuous from \(H^s(T)\) into itself for any fixed \(t \neq 0\). This result is slightly stronger than the previous one [see \textit{M. Christ, J. Colliander} and \textit{T. Tao}, ``Instability of the periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, preprint \url{arXiv:math/0311048} (2003)] where the discontinuity of the solution map is established. Moreover, the suggested proof is different and clarifies the ill-posedness phenomena. The approach relies on the lack of continuity for the \(L_2(T)\) weak topology of the flow-map associated with the equation. It does not exploit the existence of exact or approximate solutions. The main idea is to notice that that the nonlinear term of the cubic Schrödinger equation can be split into two terms with some specific properties.
