Our first results concern the Cauchy problem for this system. We prove that this problem is regularly well-posed on every $H^s(\\SS ^2)$ with $s>0$, and not uniformly well-posed on $L^2(\\SS ^2)$. The proof of well-posedness relies on multilinear Strichartz estimates, the proof of ill-posedness relies on the construction of a counterexample which concentrates exponentially on a closed geodesic. In a second part of the paper, we prove that this model can be obtained as the limit of the three dimensional Schr\\\"odinger-Poisson system, singularly perturbed by an external potential that confines the particles in the vicinity of the sphere.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-11-04T09:14:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "schrödinger-poisson system", "external potential", "multilinear strichartz estimates", "unit sphere", "ill-posedness relies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1011.1086G" } } }
