Abstract

We consider the cubic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the two dimensional torus. Fix s>1s>1. Recently Colliander, Keel, Staffilani, Tao and Takaoka proved the existence of solutions with ss-Sobolev norm growing in time.

We establish the existence of solutions with polynomial time estimates. More exactly, there is c>0c>0 such that for any K1\mathcal K\gg 1 we find a solution uu and a time TT such that u(T)HsKu(0)Hs\| u(T)\|_{H^s}\geq\mathcal K \| u(0)\|_{H^s}. Moreover, the time TT satisfies the polynomial bound 0<T<Kc0 < T < \mathcal K^c.
