We consider the Cauchy problem associated with the Chern–Simons–Dirac system in ℝ1+2. Using gauge invariance, we reduce the Chern–Simons–Dirac system to a Dirac equation and we uncover the null structure of this Dirac equation. Next, relying on null structure estimates, we establish that the Cauchy problem associated with this Dirac equation is locally-in-time well-posed in the Sobolev space Hs for all s > 1/4. Our proof uses modified L4-type estimates.

Abstract We consider the classical Yang–Mills system coupled with a Dirac equation in 3 + 1 dimensions. Using that most of the nonlinear terms fulfill a null condition we prove local well-posedness for data with minimal regularity assumptions. This problem for smooth data was solved forty years ago by Choquet-Bruhat and Christodoulou. Our result generalises a similar result for the Yang–Mills equation by Selberg and Tesfahun.

AbstractThe Maxwell–Dirac system describes the interaction of an electron with its self-induced electromagnetic field. In space dimension $$d=3$$ d = 3 the system is charge-critical, that is, $$L^2$$ L 2 -critical for the spinor with respect to scaling, and local well-posedness is known almost down to the critical regularity. In the charge-subcritical dimensions $$d=1,2$$ d = 1 , 2 , global well-posedness is known in the charge class. Here we prove that these results are sharp (or almost sharp, if $$d=3$$ d = 3 ), by demonstrating ill-posedness below the charge regularity. In fact, for $$d \le 3$$ d ≤ 3 we exhibit a spinor datum belonging to $$H^s(\mathbb {R}^d)$$ H s ( R d ) for $$s<0$$ s < 0 , and to $$L^p(\mathbb {R}^d)$$ L p ( R d ) for $$1 \le p < 2$$ 1 ≤ p < 2 , but not to $$L^2(\mathbb {R}^d)$$ L 2 ( R d ) , which does not admit any local solution that can be approximated by smooth solutions in a reasonable sense.

The well-posedness of the Cauchy problem, mentioned in title, is studied. The main result means that the solution of this problem is usual C∞ - function on the space argument, if the initial function is a real functional on the conjugate space to the space, containing the fundamental solution of the corresponding problem. The basic tool for the proof is the functional analysis technique.
