Title: Low regularity solutions of the Chern-Simons-Higgs equations in the Lorentz gauge Author: Nikolaos Bournaveas (Univ. of Edinburgh, UK) Abstract: We prove local well-posedness for the 2+1-dimensional Chern-Simons-Higgs equations in the Lorentz gauge with initial data of low regularity. Our result improves earlier results by Huh [10, 11]. Submitted February 22, 2009. Published September 12, 2009. Math Subject Classifications: 35L15, 35L70, 35Q40.
