Low regularity solutions for a generalized Zakharov system

Abstract

Using the method of Bourgain (actually we use techniques developed in the paper of Ginibre, Tsutsumi, Velo (cf. [9])) we prove well-posedness of a generalized Zakharov system, describing the spontaneous generation of magnetic field in a cold plasma, in the framework of classical Sobolev spaces. Using the conservation laws of the system we extend these solutions globally in the energy space.
