Ill-posedness of the Thirring model below the critical regularity

Analysis of PDEs 2020-08-26 v2

Abstract

We consider a nonlinear L2L^2-critical nonlinear Dirac equation in one space dimension known as the Thirring model. Global well-posedness in L2L^2 for this equation was proved by Candy. Here we prove that the equation is ill posed in LpL^p for 1p<21 \le p < 2, and in the massless case also in HsH^s with s<0s < 0.
