Local and global well-posedness results for the Benjamin-Ono-Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

We show that the initial value problem associated to the dispersive generalized Benjamin-Ono-Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation ut −D α xux + uxyy = uux, (t, x, y) ∈ R , 1 ≤ α ≤ 2, is locally well-posed in the spaces Es, s > 2 α − 3 4 , endowed with the norm ‖f‖Es = ‖〈|ξ| α + μ〉f̂‖L2(R2). As a consequence, we get the global wellposedness in the energy space E1/2 as soon as α > 8 5 . The proof is based on the approach of the short time Bourgain spaces developed by Ionescu, Kenig and Tataru [9] combined with new Strichartz estimates and a modified energy.
