The nonlinear wave and Schrodinger equations on Euclidean space of any dimension, with general power nonlinearity and with both the focusing and defocusing signs, are proved to be ill-posed in the Sobolev space of index s whenever the exponent s is lower than that predicted by scaling or Galilean invariances, or when the regularity is too low to support distributional solutions. This extends previous work of the authors, which treated the one-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation. In the defocusing case soliton or blowup examples are unavailable, and a proof of ill-posedness requires the construction of other solutions. In earlier work this was achieved using certain long-time asymptotic behavior which occurs only for low power nonlinearities. Here we analyze instead a class of solutions for which the zero-dispersion limit provides a good approximation.

  1. Effective Lagrangian regularity and the uniqueness threshold for random H\"older velocity fields

    math.PR 2026-08 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    For random multiscale Hölder velocity fields with finite-range dependence, uniqueness of ODE and transport solutions holds almost surely above the sharp threshold alpha=1/2, with explicit counterexamples below.

  2. Fourier restriction norm method adapted to controlled paths: stochastic wave equations

    math.AP 2026-07 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    Pathwise local well-posedness of stochastic nonlinear wave equations with multiplicative noise is established in optimal regularity ranges by unifying Fourier restriction norm methods with rough path integration.

  3. On the optimal Sobolev threshold for evolution equations with rough nonlinearities

    math.AP 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For nonlinear heat and Schrödinger equations with non-algebraic power nonlinearities, the paper identifies the sharp Sobolev thresholds, s < p+2+1/q and s < p+5/2 respectively, with strong ill-posedness at the endpoint.

  4. Global well-posedness for intermediate NLS with nonvanishing conditions at infinity

    math.AP 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The generalized intermediate NLS is shown to be locally and globally well-posed in Zhidkov spaces with nonvanishing boundary conditions, with modified-energy conservation laws giving uniform control for the integrable case.

  5. Norm inflation for the cubic hyperbolic NLS on $\mathbb T^2$

    math.AP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Proves norm inflation for cubic hyperbolic NLS on T^2 in H^s for s ≤ 1/2 (s ≠ 0), establishing ill-posedness below the scaling-critical regularity s=1/2 in contrast to local well-posedness for s > 1/2.
