    About this ebook

    This collection of new and original papers on mathematical aspects of nonlinear dispersive equations includes both expository and technical papers that reflect a number of recent advances in the field. The expository papers describe the state of the art and research directions. The technical papers concentrate on a specific problem and the related analysis and are addressed to active researchers.


    The book deals with many topics that have been the focus of intensive research and, in several cases, significant progress in recent years, including hyperbolic conservation laws, Schrödinger operators, nonlinear Schrödinger and wave equations, and the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations.

      Preface

      This book contains the written accounts of a number of lectures given during the CMI/IAS Workshop on mathematical aspects of nonlinear PDEs in the spring of 2004 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Several of them have an expository nature, describing the state of the art and research directions. Topics that are discussed in this volume are new developments on Schrödinger operators, non-linear Schrödinger and wave equations, hyperbolic conservation laws, and the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. There has been intensive activity in recent years in each of these areas, leading in several cases to very significant progress and almost always broadening the subject.

      The workshop is the conclusion of a year-long program at IAS centered around the analysis of nonlinear PDEs and the emergence of new analytical techniques. That year is marked by at least two important breakthroughs. The first is in the understanding of the blowup mechanism for the critical focusing Schrödinger equation. The other is a proof of global existence and scattering for the 3D quintic equation for general smooth data. Both cases illustrate in a striking way the role of hard analysis in addition to the more geometric approach and the role of energy estimates. This point of view is also reflected through the material presented in this volume.

      The articles are written in varying styles. As mentioned, some are mainly expository and meant for a broader audience. They are not an overall survey but present more focused perspectives by a leader in the field. Others are more technical
