12 Cauchy problem µdp Local wellposedness and persistence u t + uu x + 3µ(u) x Λ 2 µ u = (11) u(, x) = u (x) (12) Theorem (Local wellposedness and persistence) Assume s > 3/2. Then for any u H s (T) there exists a T > and a unique solution u C ( ( T, T ), H s) C 1( ( T, T ), H s 1) of the Cauchy problem (11)-(12) which depends continuously on the initial data u. Furthermore, the solution persists as long as u(t, ) C 1 stays bounded. Lenells, Misiolek, Tiglay* AMS Meeting, Minnesota, April 11, 21 slide 12/22

13 Cauchy problem µdp Blow-up Theorem Given any smooth periodic function u with zero mean there exists T c > such that the corresponding solution of the µdp equation stays bounded for t < T c and satisfies u x (t) as t T c. Proof. ξ = u ξ implies x ξ = (u x ξ) x ξ and setting w = x ξ/ x ξ we find that w(t, x) = 1 t + ( 1/u x (x) ). Lenells, Misiolek, Tiglay* AMS Meeting, Minnesota, April 11, 21 slide 13/22

14 Cauchy problem µdp Global existence Theorem Let s > 3. Assume that u H s (S 1 ) has non-zero mean and satisfies the condition Λ 2 µu (or ).

17 µburgers equation and the L 2 -geometry of Diff s Diff s /S 1 Burgers equation u t + uu x = (B) Diff s (S 1 ) circle diffeomorphisms of Sobolev class H s L 2 inner product on T η Diff s (S 1 ) induces a weak Riemannian metric on Diff s (S 1 ) a geodesics η(t) in Diff s (S 1 ) satisfy the equation η η = η = ( u t + uu x ) η = (14) and hence correspond to (classical) solutions of the Burgers equation. Here η(t) is the flow of u(t, x), i.e. η(t, x) = u(t, η(t, x)) Lenells, Misiolek, Tiglay* AMS Meeting, Minnesota, April 11, 21 slide 17/22

18 µburgers equation and the L 2 -geometry of Diff s Diff s /S 1 L 2 -geometry of Diff s Diff s /S 1 homogeneous space Diff s = Diff s /S 1 is a smooth Hilbert manifold for s > 3/2 with T [e] Diff s = H s (S 1 ). π : Diff s Diff s is a Riemannian submersion with each tangent space decomposing as T ξ Diff s = P ξ (T ξ Diff s ) L 2 Q ξ (T ξ Diff s ). the two orthogonal projections P ξ : T ξ Diff s T π(ξ) Diff s and Q ξ : T ξ Diff s R are given explicitly by the formulas P ξ (W ) = W 1 W (x) dx and Q ξ(w ) = 1 W (x) dx. a curve η(t) in Diff s (S 1 ) is an L 2 geodesic (and hence correspond to a solution of Burgers equation) P η η η = Q η η η =. Lenells, Misiolek, Tiglay* AMS Meeting, Minnesota, April 11, 21 slide 18/22

19 µburgers equation and the L 2 -geometry of Diff s Diff s /S 1 Theorem A smooth function u = u(t, x) is a solution of the µb equation u txx + 3u x u xx + uu xxx = if and only if the horizontal component of the acceleration of the associated flow η(t) in Diff s (S 1 ) is zero i.e. P η η η =. In fact, given any u H s (S 1 ) the flow of u has the form η(t, x) = x + t ( u (x) u () ) + η(t, ) for all sufficiently small t. integrating the µb equation twice in x gives u t + uu x = µ(u t ), (15) integrating η(t, x) = 1 η η 1 (t, x) dx = η(t, ) twice in t gives the explicit formula for the flow. Lenells, Misiolek, Tiglay* AMS Meeting, Minnesota, April 11, 21 slide 19/22

20 µburgers equation and the L 2 -geometry of Diff s Diff s /S 1 Corollary Suppose that u(t, x) is a smooth solution of the µb equation and let u(, x) = u (x). 1 The following integrals are conserved by the flow of u 1 ( ) 1 pdx ( u µ(u) = u µ(u ) ) p dx, p = 1, 2, There exists T c > such that u x (t) as t T c.

For any c R and λ, 1, equation (16) admits the peaked period-one traveling-wave solution u(t, x) = ϕ(x ct) where ϕ(x) = c 26 (12x ) (17) for x [ 1 2, 1 2 ] and ϕ is extended periodically to the real line. one-peakon solutions of (16) are the same for any λ, they travel with a speed equal to their height. Lenells, Misiolek, Tiglay* AMS Meeting, Minnesota, April 11, 21 slide 21/22

22 Multi-peakons m(t, x) = N p i (t)δ(x q i (t)), (18) i=1 Theorem The multi-peakon (18) satisfies the µ-equation (16) in the nonlocal form in distributional sense if and only if {q i, p i } N 1 evolve according to q i = u(q i ), ṗ i = (λ 1)p i {u x (q i )} (19) where {u x (q i )} denotes the regularized value of u x at q i defined by {u x (q i )} := N j=1 p jg (q i q j ) and the Green function is given by g(x) = x(x 1) + 12 for x [, 1) S 1.
