We propose a new formulation of the Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) on the real line, via a gauge transform. While KdV and the gauged equation are equivalent for smooth solutions, the latter is better behaved at low regularity in…

In this paper we consider the supercritical generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation $\partial_t\psi + \partial_{xxx}\psi + \partial_x(|\psi|^{p-1}\psi) = 0$, where $5\leq p\in\R$. We prove a local well-posedness result in the homogeneous…

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem of the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}^d$. If $d=2$, we prove the sharp estimate which implies local in time well-posedness in the Sobolev space $H^s(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for $s…
