Subcritical well-posedness results for the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation in dimension three and higher

The Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in space dimension $d\geq 3$ is considered. It is proved that the Cauchy problem is locally well-posed in $H^s(\mathbb{R}^d)$ in the full subcritical range $s>(d-4)/2$, which is optimal up to the endpoint. As a corollary, global well-posedness in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$ and, under a smallness condition, in $H^1(\mathbb{R}^4)$, follow.
