Abstract: In this paper, we prove that for the 2D elastic wave equations, a physical system with multiple wave-speeds, its Cauchy problem fails to be locally well-posed in

H^{f r a c 114} (m a t h b b R^{2})

. The ill-posedness here is driven by instantaneous shock formation. In 2D Smith-Tataru showed that the Cauchy problem for a single quasilinear wave equation is locally well-posed in

H^{s}

with

s > f r a c 114

. Hence our

H^{f r a c 114}

ill-posedness obtained here is a desired result. Our proof relies on combining a geometric method and an algebraic wave-decomposition approach, equipped with detailed analysis of the corresponding hyperbolic system.
