We present here a dierent and somewhat simpler argument, inspired by previous work on the Navier-Stokes equations ([4, 7]). 1 Introduction and main theorem We consider the equation @ 2 t + 3 = 0 in R R 3 (; @ t ) jt=0 = ( 0 ; 1 ); (1.1) where is real valued. This equation is sub-critical with respect to the H 1 norm, and, since the nonlinearity is defocusing, local well-posedness in H 1 extends to global well-posedness using the conservation of the Hamiltonian
