The cubic szego equation and hankel operators

This monograph is an expanded version of the preprint arXiv:1402.1716 or hal-00943396v1.It is devoted to the dynamics on Sobolev spaces of the cubic Szeg{ö} equation on the circle ${\mathbb S} ^1$,$i\partial \_t u=Π(\vert u\vert ^2u)\ .$Here $Π$ denotes the orthogonal projector from $L^2({\mathbb S} ^1)$ onto the subspace $L^2\_+({\mathbb S} ^1)$ of functions with nonnegative Fourier modes.We construct a nonlinear Fourier transformation on $H^{1/2}({\mathbb S} ^1)\cap L^2\_+({\mathbb S} ^1)$ allowing to describe explicitly the solutions of this equationwith data in $H^{1/2}({\mathbb S} ^1)\cap L^2\_+({\mathbb S} ^1)$. This explicit description implies almost-periodicity of every solution in $H^{\frac 12}\_+$. Furthermore, it allows to display the following turbulence phenomenon. For a dense $G\_δ$ subset of initial data in $C^\infty ({\mathbb S} ^1)\cap L^2\_+({\mathbb S} ^1)$, the solutions tend to infinity in $H^s$ for every $s\textgreater{}\frac 12$ with super--polynomial growth on some sequence of times, while they go back to their initial data on another sequence of times tending to infinity. This transformation is defined by solving a general inverse spectral problem involving singular values of a Hilbert--Schmidt Hankel operator and of its shifted Hankel operator.
