“…Therefore, we use the short-time Strichartz linear approach introduced by Koch and Tzvetkov in [21], to get local well-posedness of Benjamin-Ono (BO) equation in R, which has been proved to be useful for these types of equations (see [14,26,17,18]). But to perform this task in two dimensions with periodic context, we adapt the method used to prove local wellposedness for the Cauchy problem associated to the third-order KP-I and fifth-order KP-I equations on R × T and T 2 proposed by Ionescu and Kenig in [15] (for other applications, see [25,4] and the references therein). First, a localized Strichartz-type estimate for the linear part of the equation is obtained, where the main difficulty lies in obtaining bounds for exponential sums in the periodic case (see [13]), such sums have been treated in different contexts in number theory.…”
