Schrödinger Pointwise Convergence Problem


The Schrödinger pointwise convergence problem asks how much Sobolev space regularity of an initial function f guarantees that its free Schrödinger equation evolution returns to f almost everywhere as time tends to zero. With f^^(xi)=int_(R^n)f(x)e^(-ix·xi)dx, a Gaussian-regularized evolution is

 U_af(x,t)=(2pi)^(-n)int_(R^n)e^(ix·xi-it||xi||^2-a||xi||^2)f^^(xi)dxi,

where a>0. The unregularized evolution is obtained by taking the limit as a tends to zero before asking about convergence as time tends to zero. The regularity space H^s uses the Bessel potential space norm with p=2.
