This paper is devoted to the analysis of the continuous resonant (CR) equation, in dimensions greater than 2. This equation arises as the large box (or high frequency) limit of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation on the torus, and was derived in a companion paper by the same authors. We initiate the investigation of the structure of (CR), its local well-posedness, and the existence of stationary waves.
We show existence of global solutions for the gravity water waves equation in dimension 3, in the case of small data. The proof combines energy estimates, which yield control of L^2 related norms, with dispersive estimates, which give decay in L^\infty. To obtain these dispersive estimates, we use an analysis in Fourier space; the study of space and time resonances is then the crucial point.
We propose a mechanism for A-type antiferromagnetism in orthorombic LaMnO_3, compatible with the large Jahn-Teller splitting inferred from structural data. Orbital ordering resulting from Jahn-Teller distortions effectively leads to A-type ordering (antiferromagnetic in the c axis and ferromagnetic in the ab plane) provided the in-plane distorsion Q_2 is large enough, a condition generally fulfilled in existing data.
