Abstract

We consider the low regularity well-posedness problem for the Maxwell-Dirac system in n+1 dimensions in the cases n=3n=3 and n=2n=2 : \begin{align*} \partial^{\mu} F_{\mu \nu} & = - \langle \psi,\alpha_{\nu} \psi \rangle \\ -i \alpha^{\mu} \partial_{\mu} \psi & = A_{\mu} \alpha^{\mu} \psi \, , \end{align*} where Fμν=μAννAμ F_{\mu \nu} = \partial^{\mu} A_{\nu} - \partial^{\nu} A_{\mu} , and αμ\alpha^{\mu} are the Dirac matrices. We assume the temporal gauge A0=0A_0=0 and make use of the fact that some of the nonlinearities fulfill a null condition. Because we work in the temporal gauge we also apply a method, which was used by Tao for the Yang-Mills system in this gauge.
