The Cauchy problem for the Ostrovsky equation with negative dispersion at the critical regularity

In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem for the Ostrovsky equation \begin{eqnarray*} \partial_{x}\left(u_{t}-β\partial_{x}^{3}u +\frac{1}{2}\partial_{x}(u^{2})\right) -γu=0, \end{eqnarray*} in the Sobolev space $H^{-3/4}(\R)$. Here $β>0(<0)$ corresponds to the positive (negative) dispersion of the media, respectively. P. Isaza and J. Mej\'ıa (J. Diff. Eqns. 230(2006), 601-681; Nonli. Anal. 70(2009), 2306-2316), K. Tsugawa (J. Diff. Eqns. 247(2009), 3163-3180) proved that the problem is locally well-posed in $H^s(\R)$ when $s>-3/4$ and ill-posed when $s<-3/4$. By using some modified Bourgain spaces, we prove that the problem is locally well-posed in $H^{-3/4}(\R)$ with $β<0$ and $γ>0.$ The new ingredient that we introduce in this paper is Lemmas 2.1-2.6.
