Abstract:
We present the almost global in time existence result in [13] of small amplitude
space periodic solutions of the 1D gravity-capillary water waves equations with constant vorticity
and we describe the ideas of proof. This is based on a novel Hamiltonian paradifferential Birkhoff
normal form approach for quasi-linear PDEs.
Keywords:water waves equations, vorticity, Hamiltonian Birkhoff normal form, paradifferential
calculus.
