Abstract: In this paper we prove an optimal local well-posedness result for the 1+2 dimensional system of nonlinear wave equations (NLW) with quadratic null-form derivative nonlinearities Qmuu. The Cauchy problem for these equations is known to be ill-possed for data in the Sobolev space Hs with s<5/4 for all the basic null-forms, except Q0. However, the scaling analysis predicts local well-posedness all the way to the critical regularity of sc=1. Following Gr"{u}nrock's result for the quadratic derivative NLW, we consider initial data in the Fourier-Lebesgue spaces sHr, which coincide with the Sobolev spaces of the same regularity for r=2, but scale like lower regularity Sobolev spaces for 1<r<2. Here we obtain local well-posedness for the range s>1+1r, 1<rleq2, which at one extreme coincides with H32+ Sobolev space result, while at the other extreme establishes local well-posedness for the model null-form problem for the almost critical Fourier-Lebesgue space 2+H1+. Using appropriate multiplicative properties of the solution spaces and relying on bilinear estimates for the Qmuu forms, we prove almost critical local well-posedness for the Ward wave map problem as well.
