Abstract: The present paper deals with the long-time asymptotic analysis of the initial value problem for the integrable defocusing nonlocal nonlinear Schr"odinger equation with a step-like initial data: q(x,0)o0 as xo−infty and q(x,0)oA as xo+infty. Since the equation is not translation invariant, the solution of this problem is sensitive to shifts of the initial data. We consider a family of problems, parametrized by R>0, with the initial data that can be viewed as perturbations of the "shifted step function" qR,A(x): qR,A(x)=0 for x<R and qR,A(x)=A for x>R, where A>0 and R>0 are arbitrary constants. We show that the asymptotics is qualitatively different in sectors of the (x,t) plane, the number of which depends on the relationship between A and R: for a fixed A, the bigger R, the larger number of sectors. Moreover, the sectors can be collected into 2 alternate groups: in the sectors of the first group, the solution decays to 0 while in the sectors of the second group, the solution approaches a constant (varying with the direction x/t=const).
