A note on ill-posedness of the cauchy problem for Heisenberg wave maps

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We introduce a notion of wave maps with a target in the sub- Riemannian Heisenberg group and study their relation with Riemannian wave maps with range in Lagrangian submanifolds. As an application we establish existence and eventually ill-posedness of the corresponding Cauchy problem.
