On instability for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation
[Sur l'instabilité pour l'équation de Schrödinger avec non-linéarité cubique]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 344 (2007) no. 8, pp. 483-486.

Nous étudions l'équation de Schrödinger cubique défocalisante en dimension d'espace au moins trois. Pour des données initiales de taille quelconque dans Hs, 0<s<sc, où sc est l'indice critique, nous considérons des perturbations dans Hσ, avec σ<sc indépendant de s. On montre une instabilité dans des espaces de Sobolev d'ordre inférieur à s. La preuve repose sur une analyse de type optique géométrique en régime sur-critique.

We study the flow map associated to the cubic, defocusing, Schrödinger equation in space dimension at least three. We consider initial data of arbitrary size in Hs, where 0<s<sc, sc the critical index, and perturbations in Hσ, where σ<sc is independent of s. We show an instability mechanism in some Sobolev spaces of order smaller than s. The analysis relies on two features of super-critical geometric optics: the creation of oscillation, and the ghost effect.
