Title :  Compressible fluids and singularity formation in supercritical defocusing Schrödinger equations

Abstract

We will discuss recent work with F. Merle, P. Raphael and J. Szeftel, where we studied the problem of global regularity for a defocusing supercritical Schrodinger equation. The corresponding problem had been settled in the affirmative in a long series of works in the sub-critical and energy critical cases and was conjectured by J. Bourgain to have a similar positive answer in the supercritical case. We construct a set of smooth, nicely decaying initial data for which the corresponding solutions blow up in finite time with a highly oscillatory behavior near singularity. The construction proceeds by establishing a link between the Schr¨odinger and the the compressible Euler equations. It also leads to new singularity results for the compressible Euler and Navier–Stokes equations.
