Traveling waves for the cubic Szegő equation on the real line

Oana Pocovnicu

Vol. 4 (2011), No. 3, 379–404
Abstract

We consider the cubic Szegő equation itu = Π(|u|2u) in the Hardy space L+2() on the upper half-plane, where Π is the Szegő projector. It was first introduced by Gérard and Grellier as a toy model for totally nondispersive evolution equations. We show that the only traveling waves are of the form C(x p), where p with Imp < 0. Moreover, they are shown to be orbitally stable, in contrast to the situation on the unit disk where some traveling waves were shown to be unstable.
