We consider the cubic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the two dimensional torus. Fix $s>1$. Recently Colliander, Keel, Staffilani, Tao and Takaoka proved the existence of solutions with $s$-Sobolev norm growing in time.
We establish the existence of solutions with polynomial time estimates. More exactly, there is $c>0$ such that for any $\mathcal K\gg 1$ we find a solution $u$ and a time $T$ such that $\| u(T)\|_{H^s}\geq\mathcal K \| u(0)\|_{H^s}$. Moreover, the time $T$ satisfies the polynomial bound $0 < T < \mathcal K^c$.
Keywords: Hamiltonian partial differential equations, nonlinear Schrödinger equation, transfer of energy, growth of Sobolev norms, normal forms of Hamiltonian fixed points
