An instability property of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on \(S^d\). (English) Zbl 1003.35113

Summary: We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on spheres. We describe the nonlinear evolutions of the highest weight spherical harmonics. As a consequence, in contrast with the flat torus, we obtain that the flow map fails to be uniformly continuous for Sobolev regularity above the threshold suggested by a simple scaling argument.
