We prove asymptotic completeness in the energy space for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation posed on hyperbolic space in the radial case, in space dimension at least 4, and for any energy-subcritical, defocusing, power nonlinearity. The proof is based on simple Morawetz estimates and weighted Strichartz estimates. We investigate the same question on spaces which kind of interpolate between Euclidean space and hyperbolic space, showing that the family of short range nonlinearities becomes larger and larger as the space approaches the hyperbolic space. Finally, we describe the large time behavior of radial solutions to the free dynamics.
In this note we propose a new set of coordinates to study the hyperbolic or non-elliptic cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation in two dimensions. Based on these coordinates, we study the existence of bounded and continuous hyperbolically radial standing waves, as well as hyperbolically radial self-similar solutions. Many of the arguments can easily be adapted to more general nonlinearities.
Motivated by NLS, We study a variational problem on hyperbolic space. In particular, we compute its minimum value and we show the minimizer does not exist
In this paper, we first prove that the cubic, defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the two dimensional hyperbolic space with radial initial data in $H^s(\mathbb{H}^2)$ is globally well-posed and scatters when $s > \frac{3}{4}$. Then we extend the result to nonlineraities of order $p>3$. The result is proved by extending the high-low method of Bourgain in the hyperbolic setting and by using a Morawetz type estimate proved by the first author and Ionescu.
We prove global well-posedness, scattering and blow-up results for energy-subcritical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations on the hyperbolic space. We show in particular the existence of a critical element for scattering for all energy-subcritical power nonlinearities. For mass-supercritical nonlinearity, we show a scattering vs blow-up dichotomy for radial solutions of the equation in low dimension, below natural mass and energy thresholds given by the ground states of the equation. The proofs are based on trapping by mass and energy, compactness and rigidity, and are similar to the ones …
We justify the WKB analysis for generalized nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equations (NLS), including the hyperbolic NLS and the Davey-Stewartson II system. Since the leading order system in this analysis is not hyperbolic, we work with analytic regularity, with a radius of analyticity decaying with time, in order to obtain better energy estimates. This provides qualitative information regarding equations for which global well-posedness in Sobolev spaces is widely open.
The Hyperbolic Nonlinear Schrodinger equation (HypNLS) arises as a model for the dynamics of three-dimensional narrowband deep water gravity waves. In this study, the Petviashvili method is exploited to numerically compute bi-periodic time-harmonic solutions of the HypNLS equation. In physical space they represent non-localized standing waves. Non-trivial spatial patterns are revealed and an attempt is made to describe them using symbolic dynamics and the language of substitutions. Finally, the dynamics of a slightly perturbed standing wave is numerically investigated by means a highly acccura…
We consider the cubic Hyperbolic Schrödinger equation \eqref{eq:nls} on torus $\T^2$. We prove that sharp $L^4$ Strichartz estimate, which implies that \eqref{eq:nls} is analytic locally well-posed in in $H^s(\T^2)$ with $s>1/2$, meanwhile, the ill-posedness in $H^s(\T^2)$ for $s<1/2$ is also obtained. The main difficulty comes from estimating the number of representations of an integer as a difference of squares.
We prove a general dispersive estimate for a Schroedinger type equation on a product manifold, under the assumption that the equation restricted to each factor satisfies suitable dispersive estimates. Among the applications are the two-particle Schroedinger equations on Euclidean spaces, and the nonlinear Schroedinger equation on the product of two real hyperbolic spaces.
We establish global existence for the energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation on $\mathbb{S}^3$. This follows similar lines to the work on $\mathbb{T}^3$ but requires new extinction results for linear solutions and bounds on the first nonlinear iterate at a Euclidean profile that are adapted to the new geometry.
In this paper, we prove the global well-posedness for the focusing, cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the product space $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{T}^3$ with initial data below the threshold that arises from the the ground state in the Euclidean setting. The defocusing analogue was discussed and proved in Ionescu-Pausader \cite{IPRT3} (Comm. Math. Phys. 312 (2012), no. 3, 781-831).
We consider the focusing cubic NLS in the exterior $Ω$ of a smooth, compact, strictly convex obstacle in three dimensions. We prove that the threshold for global existence and scattering is the same as for the problem posed on Euclidean space. Specifically, we prove that if $E(u_0)M(u_0)<E(Q)M(Q)$ and $\|\nabla u_0\|_2\|u_0\|_2<\|\nabla Q\|_2\|Q\|_2$, the corresponding solution to the initial-value problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions exists globally and scatters to linear evolutions asymptotically in the future and in the past. Here, $Q(x)$ denotes the ground state for the focusing cubi…
In this article we compute the best Sobolev constants for various Hardy-Sobolev inequalities with sharp Hardy term. This is carried out in three different environments: interior point singularity in Euclidean space, interior point singularity in hyperbolic space and boundary point singularity in Euclidean domains.
Consider the defocusing quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on $\mathbf{R}^3$ with initial data in the energy space. This problem is "energy-critical" in view of a certain scale-invariance, which is a main source of difficulty in the analysis of this equation. It is a nontrivial fact that all finite-energy solutions scatter to linear solutions. We show that this remains true under small compact deformations of the Euclidean metric. Our main new ingredient is a long-time microlocal weak dispersive estimate that accounts for the refocusing of geodesics.
We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) with non-algebraic nonlinearities on the Euclidean space. In particular, we study the energy-critical NLS on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d=5,6$, and energy-critical NLS without gauge invariance and prove that they are almost surely locally well-posed with respect to randomized initial data below the energy space. We also study the long time behavior of solutions to these equations: (i) we prove almost sure global well-posedness of the (standard) energy-critical NLS on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d = 5, 6$, in the defocusing case, and (ii) …
We study the dynamics of the focusing $3d$ cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the exterior of a strictly convex obstacle at the mass-energy threshold, namely, when $ E_Ω[u_0] M_Ω[u_0] = E_{\R^3}[Q] M_{\R^3}[Q] $ and $ \left\| \nabla u_0 \right\|_{L^{2}(Ω)} \left\|u_0\right\|_{L^{2}(Ω)}< \left\| \nabla Q \right\|_{L^2(\R^3)} \left\| Q \right\|_{L^2(\R^3)} ,$ where $u_0 \in H^1_0(Ω)$ is the initial data, $Q$ is the ground state on the Euclidean space, $E$ is the energy and $M$ is the mass. In the whole Euclidean space Duyckaerts and Roudenko (following the work of Duyckaerts and Merle on th…
This paper considers the question of global in time existence and asymptotic behavior of small-data solutions of nonlinear dispersive equations with a real potential $V$. The main concern is treating nonlinearities whose degree is low enough as to preclude the simple use of classical energy methods and decay estimates. In their place, we present a systematic approach that adapts the space-time resonance method to the non-Euclidean setting using the spectral theory of the Schroedinger operator $-Δ+V$. We start by developing tools of independent interest, namely multilinear analysis (Coifman-Mey…
We prove convergence results for expanding curvature flows in the Euclidean and hyperbolic space. The flow speeds have the form $F^{-p}$, where $p>1$ and $F$ is a positive, strictly monotone and 1-homogeneous curvature function. In particular this class includes the mean curvature $F=H$. We prove that a certain initial pinching condition is preserved and the properly rescaled hypersurfaces converge smoothly to the unit sphere. We show that an example due to Andrews-McCoy-Zheng can be used to construct strictly convex initial hypersurfaces, for which the inverse mean curvature flow to the power…
We consider the focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation \begin{align}\label{CNLSS} i\partial_t U+ΔU=-|U|^2U\quad\text{on $\mathbb{R}^2\times\mathbb{T}$}.\tag{3NLS} \end{align} Different from the 3D Euclidean case, the \eqref{CNLSS} is mass-critical and non-scale-invariant on the waveguide manifold $\mathbb{R}^2\times\mathbb{T}$, hence the underlying analysis becomes more subtle and challenging. We formulate thresholds using the 2D Euclidean ground state of the focusing cubic NLS and show that solutions of \eqref{CNLSS} lying below the thresholds are global and scattering in time. The pro…
We present and summarize the results of recent studies on non-Euclidean plates with imposed constant negative Gaussian curvature in both the Föppl - von Kármán and Kirchhoff approximations. Motivated by experimental results we focus on annuli with a periodic profile. We show that in the Föppl - von Kármán approximation there are only two types of global minimizers -- flat and saddle shaped deformations with localized regions of stretching near the boundary of the annulus. We also show that there exists local minimizers with $n$-waves that have regions of stretching near their lines of inflecti…
We study the focusing intercritical NLS \begin{align}\label{abstract_nls} i\pt_t u+Δ_{x,y}u=-|u|^αu\tag{NLS} \end{align} on the semiperiodic waveguide manifold $\R^d_x\times \T_y$ with $d\geq 5$ and $α\in(\frac{4}{d},\frac{4}{d-1})$. In the case $d\leq 4$, with the aid of the semivirial vanishing theory \cite{Luo_inter}, the author was able to construct a sharp threshold, which being uniquely characterized by the ground state solutions, that sharply determines the bifurcation of global scattering and finite time blow-up solutions in dependence of the sign of the semivirial functional. As the d…
We consider the Schrödinger equation with no radial assumption on real hyperbolic spaces. We obtain sharp dispersive and Strichartz estimates for a large family of admissible pairs. As a first consequence, we get strong well-posedness results for NLS. Specifically, for small intial data, we prove $L^2$ and $H^1$ global well-posedness for any subcritical nonlinearity (in contrast with the Euclidean case) and with no gauge invariance assumption on the nonlinearity $F$. On the other hand, if $F$ is gauge invariant, $L^2$ charge is conserved and hence, as in the Euclidean case, it is possible to e…
In 1996, Huisken-Yau proved that every three-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be uniquely foliated near infinity by stable closed surfaces of constant mean curvature (CMC) if it is asymptotically equal to the (spatial) Schwarzschild solution. Using their method, Rigger proved the same theorem for Riemannian manifolds being asymptotically equal to the (spatial) (Schwarzschild-)Anti-de Sitter solution. This was generalized to asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds by Neves-Tian, Chodosh, and the author at a later stage. In this work, we prove the reverse implication as the author already did in …
