We extend our previous result on the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation to the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with the focusing cubic nonlinearity in three dimensions, for radial data of energy at most slightly above that of the ground state. We prove that the initial data set splits into nine nonempty, pairwise disjoint regions which are characterized by the distinct behaviors of the solution for large time: blow-up, scattering to 0, or scattering to the family of ground states generated by the phase and scaling freedom. Solutions of this latter type form a smooth center-stable manifold, which contains the ground states and separates the phase space locally into two connected regions exhibiting blow-up and scattering to 0, respectively. The special solutions found by Duyckaerts and Roudenko appear here as the unique one-dimensional unstable/stable manifolds emanating from the ground states. In analogy with the Klein-Gordon case, the proof combines the hyperbolic dynamics near the ground states with the variational structure away from them. The main technical ingredient in the proof is a "one-pass" theorem which precludes "almost homoclinic orbits", i.e., those solutions starting in, then moving away from, and finally returning to, a small neighborhood of the ground states. The main new difficulty compared with the Klein-Gordon case is the lack of finite propagation speed. We need the radial Sobolev inequality for the error estimate in the virial argument. Another major difference from the Klein-Gordon case is the need to control two modulation parameters.
We prove non-existence of solutions for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on the circle if initial data belong to $H^s(\mathbb{T}) \setminus L^2(\mathbb{T})$ for some $s \in (-\frac18, 0)$. The proof is based on establishing an a priori bound on solutions to a renormalized cubic NLS in negative Sobolev spaces via the short time Fourier restriction norm method.
In this short note we present a new proof of the global well-posedness and scattering result for the defocusing energy-critical NLS in four space dimensions obtained previously by Ryckman and Visan. The argument is inspired by the recent work of Dodson on the mass-critical NLS.
In this article we consider the Cauchy problem for the cubic focusing nonlinear Schrö\-dinger (NLS) equation on the line with initial datum close to a particular $N$-soliton. Using inverse scattering and the $\bar{\partial}$ method we establish the decay of the $L^{\infty}$ norm of the residual term in time.
We address stability of multi-solitons in the cubic NLS (nonlinear Schrödinger) equation on the line. By using the dressing transformation and the inverse scattering transform methods, we obtain the orbital stability of multi-solitons in the $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ space when the initial data is in a weighted $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ space.
We prove global well-posedness for the L^{2}-critical cubic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation on R^{2} with data u_{0} \in H^{s}(R^{2}) for s > {1/3}.
We review some recent results concerning the Initial Value Problem of 1d-cubic non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLS) and other related systems as the Schrödinger Map. For the latter we prove the existence of a cascade of energy. Finally, some new examples of the Talbot effect at the critical level of regularity are given.
We consider the focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inverse-square potential in three space dimensions. We identify a sharp threshold between scattering and blowup, establishing a result analogous to that of Duyckaerts, Holmer, and Roudenko for the standard focusing cubic NLS. We also prove failure of uniform space-time bounds at the threshold.

In this article, we study long time dynamics for defocusing cubic NLS on three dimensional product space. First, we apply the decoupling method in Bourgain-Demeter \cite{BD} to establish a bilinear Strichartz estimate. Moreover, we prove global well-posedness for defocusing, cubic NLS on three dimensional product space with rough initial data ($H^s$, $s>\frac{5}{6}$) based on I-method and the bilinear estimate. At last, we discuss the growth of higher Sobolev norm problem which is tightly linked to the weak turbulence phenomenon.
We revisit the scattering result of Holmer and Roudenko on the radial focusing cubic NLS in three space dimensions. Using the radial Sobolev embedding and a virial/Morawetz estimate, we give a simple proof of scattering below the ground state that avoids the use of concentration compactness.
We prove global well-posedness and scattering for the defocusing, cubic NLS on $\mathbb{R}^3$ with initial data in $H^s(\mathbb{R}^3)$ for $s>49/74$. The proof combines the ideas of resonance decomposition in \cite{CKSTT4} and linear-nonlinear decomposition in \cite{ben1}\cite{roy} together with the idea of large time iteration.
We consider the large data scattering problem for the 2D and 3D cubic-quintic NLS in the focusing-focusing regime. Our attention is firstly restricted to the 2D space, where the cubic nonlinearity is $L^2$-critical. We establish a new type of scattering criterion that is uniquely determined by the mass of the initial data, which differs from the classical setting based on the Lyapunov functional. At the end, we also formulate a solely mass-determining scattering threshold for the 3D cubic-quintic NLS in the focusing-focusing regime.
We prove global wellposedness in the energy space of the defocusing cubic nonlinear Schroedinger and Gross-Pitaevskii equations on the exterior of a non-trapping domain in dimension 3. The main ingredient is a Strichartz estimate obtained combining a semi-classical Strichartz estimate with a smoothing effect on exterior domains.
In this paper, we establish bilinear and gradient bilinear Strichartz estimates for Schrödinger operators in 2 dimensional compact manifolds with boundary. Using these estimates, we can infer the local well-posedness of cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $H^s$ for every $s>{2/3}$ on such manifolds.
We consider the cubic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLS) as well as the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation in one space dimension. We prove that for each $s>-\frac12$ there exists a conserved energy which is equivalent to the $H^s$ norm of the solution. For the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation there is a similar conserved energy for every $s\ge -1$.
Combining the usual energy functional with a higher-order conserved quantity originating from integrability theory, we show that the black soliton is a local minimizer of a quantity that is conserved along the flow of the cubic defocusing NLS equation in one space dimension. This unconstrained variational characterization gives an elementary proof of the orbital stability of the black soliton with respect to perturbations in $H^2(\mathbb{R})$.
In this paper, we prove that the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the fractional Laplacian on the unit disk is globally well-posed for certain radial initial data below the energy space. The result is proved by extending the I-method in the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation setting.
We consider the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in two space dimensions. For this model, X. Cheng established scattering for $H^1$ data with mass strictly below that of the ground state for the cubic NLS. Subsequently, R. Carles and C. Sparber utilized the pseudoconformal energy estimate to obtain scattering at the sharp threshold for data belonging to a weighted Sobolev space. In this work, we remove the weighted assumption and establish scattering at the threshold for radial data in $H^1$.
We consider the initial-value problem for the $1d$ cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a repulsive delta potential. We prove that small initial data in a weighted Sobolev space lead to global solutions that decay in $L^\infty$ and exhibit modified scattering.
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…
We consider the cubic Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation in one space dimension, either focusing or defocusing. We prove that the solutions satisfy a-priori local in time H^s bounds in terms of the H^s size of the initial data for s greater than or equal to -1/6.
In this paper, we consider a 3d cubic focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with slowing decaying potentials. Adopting the variational method of Ibrahim-Masmoudi-Nakanishi \cite{IMN}, we obtain a condition for scattering. It is actually sharp in some sense since the solution will blow up if it's false. The proof of blow-up part relies on the method of Du-Wu-Zhang \cite{DWZ}
We consider the cubic Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation (NLS) in one space dimension, either focusing or defocusing. We prove that the solutions satisfy a-priori local in time Hs bounds in terms of the Hs size of the initial data for s >=-1/4 . This improves earlier results of Christ-Colliander-Tao [2] and of the authors [12]. The new ingredients are a localization in space and local energy decay, which we hope to be of independent interest.
This article is concerned with the small data problem for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) in one space dimension, and short range modifications of it. We provide a new, simpler approach in order to prove that global solutions exist for data which is small in $H^{0,1}$. In the same setting we also discuss the related problems of obtaining a modified scattering expansion for the solution, as well as asymptotic completeness.
In this paper, we study the one-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on the circle. In particular, we develop a normal form approach to study NLS in almost critical Fourier-Lebesgue spaces. By applying an infinite iteration of normal form reductions introduced by the first author with Z. Guo and S. Kwon (2013), we derive a normal form equation which is equivalent to the renormalized cubic NLS for regular solutions. For rough functions, the normal form equation behaves better than the renormalized cubic NLS, thus providing a further renormalization of the cubic NLS. We then pr…
In this paper we prove the existence of an invariant measure for the cubic NLS $$i\partial_t u + \bigtriangleup u - |u|^2 u = 0$$ on the real line in the sense that we prove the existence of a measure $ρ$ supported by non-localised functions such that there exists random variables $X(t)$ whose laws are $ρ$ (thus independent of $t$) and such that $t\mapsto X(t)$ is a solution to the cubic NLS. Our strategy for the proof is inspired by \cite{burqtzv} and relies on the application of Prokhorov and Skorokhod Theorems to a sequence of measures which are invariant under some approximating flows, as …
We prove bilinear estimates for the Schrödinger equation on 3D domains, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. On non-trapping domains, they match the $\mathbb{R}^3$ case, while on bounded domains they match the generic boundary less manifold case. As an application, we obtain global well-posedness for the defocusing cubic NLS for data in $H^s_0(Ω)$, $1<s\leq 3$, with $Ω$ any bounded domain with smooth boundary.
In this note, we consider the ill-posedness issue for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on the circle. In particular, adapting the argument by Christ-Colliander-Tao [14] to the periodic setting, we exhibit a norm inflation phenomenon for both the usual cubic NLS and the Wick ordered cubic NLS for $s \leq s_\text{crit} :=- \frac 12$. We also discuss norm inflation phenomena for general cubic fractional NLS on the circle.
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 study the periodic cubic derivative non-linear Schrödinger equation (dNLS) and the (focussing) quintic non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLS). These are both $L^2$ critical dispersive models, which exhibit threshold type behavior, when posed on the line ${\mathbb R}$. We describe the (three parameter) family of non-vanishing bell-shaped solutions for the periodic problem, in closed form. The main objective of the paper is to study their stability with respect to co-periodic perturbations. We analyze these waves for stability in the framework of the cubic DNLS. We provide a criteria for stabi…
Periodic waves of the one-dimensional cubic defocusing NLS equation are considered. Using tools from integrability theory, these waves have been shown in [Bottman, Deconinck, and Nivala, 2011] to be linearly stable and the Floquet-Bloch spectrum of the linearized operator has been explicitly computed. We combine here the first four conserved quantities of the NLS equation to give a direct proof that cnoidal periodic waves are orbitally stable with respect to subharmonic perturbations, with period equal to an integer multiple of the period of the wave. Our result is not restricted to the period…
In this note we study the initial value problem in a critical space for the one dimensional Schrödinger equation with a cubic non-linearity and under some smallness conditions. In particular the initial data is given by a sequence of Dirac deltas with different amplitudes but equispaced. This choice is motivated by a related geometrical problem; the one describing the flow of curves in three dimensions moving in the direction of the binormal with a velocity that is given by the curvature.
We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in three space dimensions with combined focusing cubic and defocusing quintic nonlinearity. This problem was considered previously by Killip, Oh, Pocovnicu, and Visan, who proved scattering for the whole region of the mass/energy plane where the virial quantity is guaranteed to be positive. In this paper we prove scattering in a larger region where the virial quantity is no longer guaranteed to be sign definite.
We explicitly give all stationary solutions to the focusing cubic NLS on the line, in the presence of a defect of the type Dirac's delta or delta prime. The models proves interesting for two features: first, they are exactly solvable and all quantities can be expressed in terms of elementary functions. Second, the associated dynamics is far from being trivial. In particular, the $NLS$ with a delta prime potential shows two symmetry breaking bifurcations: the first concerns the ground states and was already known. The second emerges on the first excited states, and up to now had not been reveal…
We show global wellposedness for the defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) in $H^1(\mathbb{R}) + H^{3/2+}(\mathbb{T})$, and for the defocusing NLS with polynomial nonlinearities in $H^1(\mathbb{R}) + H^{5/2+}(\mathbb{T})$. This complements local results for the cubic NLS and global results for the quadratic NLS in this hybrid setting.
In this article, we consider the focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation(NLS) in the exterior domain outside of a convex obstacle in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We revisit the scattering result below ground state of Killip-Visan-Zhang by utilizing Dodson and Murphy's argument and the dispersive estimate established by Ivanovici and Lebeau, which avoids using the concentration compactness. We conquer the difficulty of the boundary in the focusing case by establishing a local smoothing effect of the boundary. Based on this effect and the interaction Morawetz estimate…
We prove global existence for the one-dimensional cubic non-linear Schrödinger equation in modulation spaces $M_{p,p'}$ for $p$ sufficiently close to $2$. In contrast to known results, our result requires no smallness condition on initial data. The proof adapts a splitting method inspired by work of Vargas-Vega and Hyakuna-Tsutsumi to the modulation space setting and exploits polynomial growth of the free Schrödinger group on modulation spaces.
In this note we consider the 1-D cubic Schrödinger equation with data given as small perturbations of a Dirac-$δ$ function and some other related equations. We first recall that although the problem for this type of data is ill-posed one can use the geometric framework of the Schrödinger map to define the solution beyond the singularity time. Then, we find some natural and well defined geometric quantities that are not regular at time zero. Finally, we make a link between these results and some known phenomena in fluid mechanics that inspired this note.
For both the cubic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLS) as well as the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation in one space dimension we consider the set ${\bf M}_N$ of pure $N$-soliton states, and their associated multisoliton solutions. We prove that (i) the set ${\bf M}_N$ is a uniformly smooth manifold, and (ii) the ${\bf M}_N$ states are uniformly stable in $H^s$, for each $s>-\frac12$. One main tool in our analysis is an iterated Backlund transform, which allows us to nonlinearly add a multisoliton to an existing soliton free state (the soliton addition map) or alternatively to remove…
We study the long-time behaviour of the focusing cubic NLS on $\R$ in the Sobolev norms $H^s$ for $0 < s < 1$. We obtain polynomial growth-type upper bounds on the $H^s$ norms, and also limit any orbital $H^s$ instability of the ground state to polynomial growth at worst; this is a partial analogue of the $H^1$ orbital stability result of Weinstein. In the sequel to this paper we generalize this result to other nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Our arguments are based on the ``$I$-method'' from our earlier papers, which pushes down from the energy norm, as well as an ``upside-down $I$-method'' …
The Fourier transforms of the products of two respectively three solutions of the free Schroedinger equation in one space dimension are estimated in mixed and, in the first case weighted, L^p - norms. Inserted into an appropriate variant of the Fourier restriction norm method, these estimates serve to prove local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the cubic nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equation with data u_0 in the function space ^L^r:=^H^r_0, where for s \in R the spaces ^H^r_s are defined by the norms ||u_0||_{^H^r_s}:=||^u_0||_{L^r'_ξ}, 1/r + 1/r'=1. Similar arguments, combined with a…
In this paper we consider inhomogeneous cubic-quintic NLS in space dimension $d = 3$: $$ iu_t = -Δu + K_1(x)|u|^2u + K_2(x)|u|^4u. $$ We study local well-posedness, finite time blowup, and small data scattering and non-scattering for the ICQNLS when $K_1, K_2 \in C^4(\mathbb R^3 \setminus \{0\})$ satisfy growth condition $|\partial^j K_i(x)| \lesssim |x|^{b_i-j}\, (j = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)$ for some $b_i \ge 0$ and for $x \neq 0$. To this end we use the Sobolev inequality for the functions $f \in H^n \,(n = 1, 2)$ such that $\||\mathbf L|^\ell f\|_{H^n} < \infty \,(\ell = 1, 2)$, where $\mathbf L$ i…
We consider the initial-value problem for the cubic-quintic NLS \[ (i\partial_t+Δ)ψ=α_1 ψ-α_{3}\vert ψ\vert^2 ψ+α_5\vert ψ\vert^4 ψ\] in three spatial dimensions in the class of solutions with $|ψ(x)|\to c >0$ as $|x|\to\infty$. Here $α_1$, $α_3$, $α_5$ and $c$ are such that $ψ(x)\equiv c$ is an energetically stable equilibrium solution to this equation. Normalizing the boundary condition to $ψ(x)\to 1$ as $|x|\to\infty$, we study the associated initial-value problem for $u=ψ-1$ and prove a scattering result for small initial data in a weighted Sobolev space.
We consider the Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation and prove that the Gaussian measure with covariance $(1-\partial_x^2)^{-α}$ on $L^2(\mathbf T)$ is quasi-invariant for the associated flow for $α>1/2$. This is sharp and improves a previous result obtained in \cite{OTT} where the values $α>3/4$ were obtained. Also, our method is completely different and simpler, it is based on an explicit formula for the Radon-Nikodym derivative. We obtain an explicit formula for this latter in the same spirit as in \cite{Cruz1} and \cite{Cruz2}. The arguments are general and can be used to other Hamiltonian…
