Low regularity solutions for gravity water waves

Analysis of PDEs 2019-10-14 v2

Abstract

We prove local well-posedness for the gravity water waves equations without surface tension, with initial velocity field in HsH^s, s>d2+1μs > \frac{d}{2} + 1 - \mu, where μ=110\mu = \frac{1}{10} in the case d=1d = 1 and μ=15\mu = \frac{1}{5} in the case d2d \geq 2, extending previous results of Alazard-Burq-Zuily. The improvement primarily arises in two areas. First, we perform an improved analysis of the regularity of the change of variables from Eulerian to Lagrangian coordinates. Second, we perform a time-interval length optimization of the localized Strichartz estimates.
