We revisit the proof of global well-posedness and scattering for the defocusing energy-critical NLS in three space dimensions in light of recent developments. This result was obtained previously by Colliander, Keel, Staffilani, Takaoka, and Tao.
In this paper, we prove global well-posedness for low regularity data for the one dimensional quintic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We show that a unique solution exists for $u_{0} \in H^{s}(\mathbf{R})$, $s > {8/29}$. This improves the result in [13], which proved global well-posedness for $s > {1/3}$. The main new argument is that we obtain almost Morawetz estimates with improved error.
We prove almost sure global well-posedness of the energy-critical defocusing quintic nonlinear wave equation on $\mathbb{R}^3$ with random initial data in $ H^s(\mathbb{R}^3) \times H^{s-1}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ for $s > \frac 12$. The main new ingredient is a uniform probabilistic energy bound for approximating random solutions.
We consider the defocusing quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in four space dimensions. We prove that any solution that remains bounded in the critical Sobolev space must be global and scatter. We employ a space-localized interaction Morawetz inequality, the proof of which requires us to overcome the logarithmic failure in the double Duhamel argument in four dimensions.
We consider the problem of large data scattering for the quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on $\R \times \T^2$. This equation is critical both at the level of energy and mass. Most notably, we exhibit a new type of profile (a "large scale profile") that controls the asymptotic behavior of the solutions.

In this paper we prove that the non-linear Fourier transform of the defocusing NLS equation on the circle is linear up to terms which are one order smoother.
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 paper we prove approximation properties of the solutions of the defoucsing NLS equation on the circle by nearly linear flows. In addition we show that spatially periodic solutions of the defocusing NLS equation evolving in fractional Sobolev spaces $H^s$ with $s\geq 1$ remain bounded for all times.
We prove $H^{1}$ scattering for a defocusing NLS on the line with fully variable coefficients. The result is proved by adapting the Kenig--Merle scheme to a non translation invariant setting. In addition, we give an abstract version of the scheme which can be applied to other operators.
We prove the existence and the invariance of a Gibbs measure associated to the defocusing sub-quintic Nonlinear Schroedinger equations on the disc of the plane $\R^2$. We also prove an estimate giving some intuition to what may happen in 3 dimensions.
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 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 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.
The energy-critical defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation on 3-dimensional rectangular tori is considered. We prove that the global well-posedness result for the standard torus of Ionescu and Pausader extends to this class of manifolds, namely, for any initial data in $H^1$ the solution exists globally in time.
In a case study for integrable PDEs, we construct real analytic, canonical coordinates for the defocusing NLS equation on the circle, specifically taylored towards the needs in perturbation theory. They are defined in neighbourhoods of families of finite dimensional invariant tori and are shown to satisfy together with their derivatives tame estimates. When expressed in these coordinates, the dNLS Hamiltonian is in normal form up to order three.
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 study the quintic Non Linear Schrödinger equation on a two dimensional torus and exhibit orbits whose Sobolev norms grow with time. The main point is to reduce to a sufficiently simple toy model, similar in many ways to the one used in the case of the cubic NLS. This requires an accurate combinatorial analysis.
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 global well-posedness in $H^1$ for the energy-critical defocusing initial-value problem \begin{equation*} (i\partial_t+Δ_x)u=u|u|^2,\qquad u(0)=ϕ, \end{equation*} in the semiperiodic setting $x\in\R\times\T^3$.
We consider the defocusing energy-critical NLS in the exterior of the unit ball in three dimensions. For the initial value problem with Dirichlet boundary condition we prove global well-posedness and scattering with large radial initial data in the Sobolev space $\dot H_0^1$. We also point out that the same strategy can be used to treat the energy-supercritical NLS in the exterior of balls with Dirichlet boundary condition and radial $\dot H_0^1$ initial data.
We consider the defocusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the exterior of a smooth compact strictly convex obstacle in three dimensions. For the initial-value problem with Dirichlet boundary condition we prove global well-posedness and scattering for all initial data in the energy space.
The defocusing NLS-equation $\mathrm{i} u_t = -u_{xx} + 2|u|^2u$ on the circle admits a global nonlinear Fourier transform, also known as Birkhoff map, linearising the NLS-flow. The regularity properties of $u$ are known to be closely related to the decay properties of the corresponding nonlinear Fourier coefficients. In this paper we quantify this relationship by providing two sided polynomial estimates of all integer Sobolev norms $\|u\|_m$, $m\ge 0$, in terms of the weighted norms of the nonlinear Fourier transformed.
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 radial defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations $iu_t+Δu=|u|^{p}u$ with supercritical exponent $p>4$ in four space dimensions, and prove that any radial solution that remains bounded in the critical Sobolev space must be global and scatter.
We consider the defocusing $\dot{H}^{1/2}$-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in dimensions $d\geq 5$. In the spirit of Kenig and Merle [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 362 (2010), 1937--1962], we combine a concentration-compactness approach with the Lin--Strauss Morawetz inequality to prove that if a solution $u$ is bounded in $\dot{H}^{1/2}$ throughout its lifespan, then $u$ is global and scatters.
We consider a class of defocusing energy-supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equations in four space dimensions. Following a concentration-compactness approach, we show that for $1<s_c<3/2$, any solution that remains bounded in the critical Sobolev space $\dot{H}_x^{s_c}(\R^4)$ must be global and scatter. Key ingredients in the proof include a long-time Strichartz estimate and a frequency-localized interaction Morawetz inequality.
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 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…
This paper studies the quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with randomized initial data below the critical regularity $H^{\frac{d-1}{2}}$. The main result is a proof of almost sure local well-posedness given a Wiener Randomization of the data in $H^s$ for $s \in (\frac{d-2}{2}, \frac{d-1}{2})$. The argument further develops the techniques introduced in the work of Á. Bényi, T. Oh and O. Pocovnicu on the cubic problem. The paper concludes with a condition for almost sure global well-posedness.
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.
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 prove that the scattering operators and wave operators are well-defined in the energy space for the system of defocusing Schrödinger equations $$ \begin{cases} i\partial_t u_μ+ Δu_μ- \sum_{μ,ν=1 }^N β_{μν}|u_ν|^{p+1}|u_μ|^{p-1}u_μ=0, \quad\quad μ=1,\dots,N,\\(u_μ(0,\cdot))_{μ=1}^N= (u_{μ,0})_{μ=1}^N \in H^1(\mathbb R^d)^N. \end{cases} $$ with $N\geq 2$, $β_{μν} \geq 0$, $β_{μμ}\neq 0$ for $p>2 $ if $d=1$, $p>1 $ if $d=2$ and $ 1 \leq p < 2$ if $d=3$.
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.
We consider the periodic cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation \begin{align}\label{cqnls_abstract} (i\partial_t +Δ)u=μ_1 |u|^2 u+μ_2 |u|^4 u\tag{CQNLS} \end{align} on the three-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^3$ with $μ_1,μ_2\in \mathbb{R} \setminus\{0\}$. As a first result, we establish the small data well-posedness of \eqref{cqnls_abstract} for arbitrarily given $μ_1$ and $μ_2$. By adapting the crucial perturbation arguments in \cite{zhang2006cauchy} to the periodic setting, we also prove that \eqref{cqnls_abstract} is always globally well-posed in $H^1(\mathbb{T}^3)$ in the case $μ_2>0…
In this paper, we study the critical norm conjecture for the inter-critical nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation with critical index $s_c$ satisfying $\frac{1}{2}<s_c<1$ when $d\geq 5$. Under the assumption of uniform boundedness of the critical norm, we prove the global well-posedness and scattering for the Cauchy problem. We follow the standard `Concentration compactness/Rigidity method' established in \cite{KenigMerle1,KenigMerle2}, and treat three scenarios for the critical element respectively. Moreover, double Duhamel method and interaction Morawetz estimate are applied to exclude the critic…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) on the real line with a special subclass of almost periodic functions as initial data. In particular, we prove global existence of solutions to NLS with limit periodic functions as initial data under some regularity assumption.
In this paper, using $I$-method, we establish $H^s_x\times H^s_x$ scattering theories for the following Cauchy problem \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{lll} iu_t+Δu=λ|v|^2u,\quad iv_t+Δv=μ|u|^2v,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^3,\ t>0,\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x),\quad v(x,0)=v_0(x),\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^3. \end{array}\right. \end{equation*} Here $λ>0$, $μ>0$, $(u_0,v_0)\in H^s_x(\mathbb{R}^3)\times H^s_x(\mathbb{R}^3)$ and $\frac{1}{2}<s<1$.
We construct solutions with prescribed scattering state to 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 $|x|\to\infty$. This models disturbances in an infinite expanse of (quantum) fluid in its quiescent state --- the limiting modulus $c$ corresponds to a local minimum in the energy density. Our arguments build on work of Gustafson, Nakanishi, and Tsai on the (defocusing) Gross--Pitaevskii equation. The presence of an energy-critical nonlinearity and changes in the geom…
We study the influence of Szeg{ö} projector $Π$ on the L 2 --critical one-dimensional non linear focusing Schr{ö}dinger equation, leading to the quintic focusing NLS-Szeg{ö} equation i$\partial$ t u + $\partial$ 2 x u + $Π$(|u| 4 u) = 0, (t, x) $\in$ R x R, u(0, $\times$) = u 0. This equation is globally well-posed in H 1 + = $Π$(H 1 (R)), for every initial datum u 0. The solution L 2-scatters both forward and backward in time if u 0 has sufficiently small mass. We prove the orbital stability with scaling of the traveling wave : u $ω$,c (t, x) = e i$ω$t Q(x + ct), for some $ω$, c > 0, where Q …
We show that if a solution of the defocusing cubic NLS in 3d remains bounded in the homogeneous Sobolev norm of order 1/2 in its maximal interval of existence, then the interval is infinite and the solution scatters. No radial assumption is made.
We consider the quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on the circle. We prove that there exist solutions corresponding to an initial datum built on four Fourier modes which form a resonant set, which have a non trivial dynamic that involves periodic energy exchanges between the modes initially excited. It is noticeable that this nonlinear phenomena does not depend on the choice of the resonant set. The dynamical result is obtained by calculating a resonant normal form up to order 10 of the Hamiltonian of the quintic NLS and then by isolating an effective term of order 6. Notice that thi…
In this article, we prove the scattering for the quintic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation on cylinder $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{T}$ in $H^1$. We establish an abstract linear profile decomposition in $L^2_x h^α$, $0 < α\le 1$, motivated by the linear profile decomposition of the mass-critical Schrödinger equation in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d )$, $d\ge 1$. Then by using the solution of the one-discrete-component quintic resonant nonlinear Schrödinger system, whose scattering can be proved by using the techniques in $1d$ mass critical NLS problem by B. Dodson, to approximate the nonlinear profi…
We prove that the solution map, associated to the quintic fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equation, exhibits the norm inflation phenomenon at every point in the Sobolev spaces of super-critical regularity. Indeed, we prove this result separately in the cases of negative and of positive regularity. In the negative regularity case, we prove the result for both the defocusing and focusing equations: in the one dimensional case, the associated solution map exhibits norm inflation in Sobolev spaces of super-critical regularity (including the critical index); in the higher dimensional case, the s…
We prove that if $u(t)$ is a log-log blow-up solution, of the type studied by Merle-Raphaël (2001-2005), to the $L^2$ critical focusing NLS equation $i\partial_t u +Δu + |u|^{4/d} u=0$ with initial data $u_0\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$ in the cases $d=1, 2$, then $u(t)$ remains bounded in $H^1$ away from the blow-up point. This is obtained without assuming that the initial data $u_0$ has any regularity beyond $H^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$. As an application of the $d=1$ result, we construct an open subset of initial data in the radial energy space $H^1_{rad}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ with corresponding solutions that bl…
The aim of this paper is to show the small data scattering for 2D ICQNLS: $$iu_t=-Δu + K_1(x)|u|^2u+K_2(x)|u|^4u.$$ Under the assumption that $\left| \partial^j K_l \right| \lesssim |x|^{b_l -j}$ for $j=0, 1, 2, l=1, 2$ and $0 \le b_l \le l - \frac23$, we prove the small data scattering in an angularly regular Sobolev space $H_θ^{1,1}$. We use the decaying property of angularly regular functions, which are defined as functions in Sobolev space $H_θ^{1, 1} \subset H^1$ with angular regularity such that $\|\partial_θf\|_{H^1} < \infty$, and also use the recently developed angularly averaged Stri…
