We study the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with an inverse-square potential in dimensions $3\leq d \leq 6$. We consider both focusing and defocusing nonlinearities in the mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical regime. In the focusing case, we prove a scattering/blowup dichotomy below the ground state. In the defocusing case, we prove scattering in $H^1$ for arbitrary data.
We adapt the argument of Dodson-Murphy to give a simple proof of scattering below the ground state for the intercritical inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The decaying factor in the nonlinearity obviates the need for a radial assumption.
We consider the focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation \[ i\partial_t u + Δu + |x|^{-b}|u|^αu = 0\quad\text{on}\quad\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^N, \] with $N\geq 2$, $0<b<\min\{\tfrac{N}{2},2\}$, and $\tfrac{4-2b}{N}<α<\tfrac{4-2b}{N-2}$. These constraints make the equation mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical. We extend the results of Farah-Guzmán and Miao-Murphy-Zheng and prove scattering below the ground state with general initial data.
In this paper we consider the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger (INLS) equation \begin{align}\label{inls} i \partial_t u +Δu +|x|^{-b} |u|^{2σ}u = 0, \,\,\, x \in \mathbb{R}^N \end{align} with $N\geq 3$. We focus on the intercritical case, where the scaling invariant Sobolev index $s_c=\frac{N}{2}-\frac{2-b}{2σ}$ satisfies $0<s_c<1$. In a previous work, for radial initial data in $\dot H^{s_c}\cap \dot H^1$, we prove the existence of blow-up solutions and also a lower bound for the blow-up rate. Here we extend these results to the non-radial case. We also prove an upper bound for the blow-up…
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 focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger (INLS) equation in $\mathbb{R}^N$ $$i \partial_t u +Δu + |x|^{-b} |u|^{2σ}u = 0,$$ where $N\geq 2$ and $σ$, $b>0$. We first obtain a small data global result in $H^1$, which, in the two spatial dimensional case, improves the third author result in [22] on the range of $b$. For $N\geq 3$ and $\frac{2-b}{N}<σ<\frac{2-b}{N-2}$, we also study the local well posedness in $\dot H^{s_c}\cap \dot H^1 $, where $s_c=\frac{N}{2}-\frac{2-b}{2σ}$. Sufficient conditions for global existence of solutions in $\dot H^{s_c}\cap \dot H^1$ are also esta…
We consider the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger (INLS) equation in $\mathbb{R}^N$ $$i \partial_t u +Δu +|x|^{-b} |u|^{2σ}u = 0,$$ where $N\geq 3$, $0<b<\min\left\{\frac{N}{2},2\right\}$ and $\frac{2-b}{N}<σ<\frac{2-b}{N-2}$. The scaling invariant Sobolev space is $\dot{H}^{s_c}$ with $s_c=\frac{N}{2}-\frac{2-b}{2σ}$. The restriction on $σ$ implies $0<s_c<1$ and the equation is called intercritical (i.e. mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical). Let $u_0\in \dot H^{s_c}\cap \dot H^1$ be a radial initial data and $u(t)$ the corresponding solution to the INLS equation. We first show that if…
We study the focusing NLS \begin{align}\label{nls_abstract} i\partial_t u+Δ_{x,y} u=-|u|^αu\tag{NLS} \end{align} on the waveguide manifold $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$ in the intercritical regime $α\in(\frac{4}{d},\frac{4}{d-1})$. By assuming that the \eqref{nls_abstract} is independent of $y$, it reduces to the focusing intercritical NLS on $\mathbb{R}^d$, which is known to have standing wave and finite time blow-up solutions. Naturally, we ask whether these special solutions with non-trivial $y$-dependence exist. In this paper we give an affirmative answer to this question. To that end, we…
We consider the focusing inhomogeneous biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $H^2(\mathbb{R}^N)$, \begin{equation} iu_t + Δ^2 u - |x|^{-b}|u|^αu=0 \end{equation} when $b > 0$ and $N \geq 5$. We first obtain a small data global result in $H^2$, which, in the five-dimensional case, improves a previous result from Pastor and the second author. In the sequel, we show the main result, scattering below the mass-energy threshold in the intercritical case, that is, $\frac{8-2b}{N} < α<\frac{8-2b}{N-4}$, without assuming radiality of the initial data. The proof combines the decay of the nonlinea…
In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of global solutions to the Schrödinger-Choquard equation $$i\partial_tu+Δu=-(I_α\ast|\cdot|^b|u|^{p})|\cdot|^b|u|^{p-2}u.$$ Inspired by Murphy, who gave a simple proof of scattering for the non-radial inhomogeneous NLS, we prove scattering theory below the ground state for the intercritical case in energy space without radial assumption.
We study the focusing NLS equation in $\mathbb{R}^N$ in the mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical (or intercritical) regime, with $H^1$ data at the mass-energy threshold $ \mathcal{ME}(u_0)=\mathcal{ME}(Q)$, where $Q$ is the ground state. Previously, Duyckaerts-Merle studied the behavior of threshold solutions in the $H^1$-critical case, in dimensions $N = 3, 4, 5$, later generalized by Li-Zhang for higher dimensions. In the intercritical case, Duyckaerts-Roudenko studied the threshold problem for the 3d cubic NLS equation. In this paper, we generalize the results of Duyckaerts-Roudenko fo…
Consider the focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $H^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$, $$iu_t + Δu + |x|^{-b}|u|^{p-1}u=0,$$ when $b > 0$ and $N \geq 3$ in the intercritical case $0 < s_c <1$. In previous works, the second author, as well as Farah, Guzmán and Murphy, applied the concentration-compactness approach to prove scattering below the mass-energy threshold for radial and non-radial data. Recently, the first author adapted the Dodson-Murphy approach for radial data, followed by Murphy, who proved scattering for non-radial solutions in the 3d cubic case, for $b<1/2$. This work genera…
In this paper, we prove a refined version of a compactness lemma and we use it to establish mass-concentration for the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with an inverse-square potential.
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 paper we study long time dynamics (i.e., scattering and blow-up) of solutions for the focusing NLS with a repulsive inverse-power potential and with initial data lying exactly at the mass-energy threshold, namely, when $E_{V}(u_{0})M(u_{0})=E_{0}(Q)M(Q)$. Moreover, we prove failure of the uniform space-time bounds at the mass-energy threshold.
We consider the defocusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inverse-square potential $iu_t = -Δu + a|x|^{-2}u + |u|^4u$ in three space dimensions. We prove global well-posedness and scattering for $a>-\frac14 +\frac1{25}$. We also carry out the variational analysis needed to treat the focusing case.
In this paper, we study the long time behavior of the solution of nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a singular potential. We prove scattering below the ground state for the radial NLS with inverse-square potential in dimension two $$iu_t+Δu-\frac{a u}{|x|^2}= -|u|^pu$$ when $2<p<\infty$ and $a>0$. This work extends the result in [13, 14, 16] to dimension 2D. The key point is a modified version of Arora-Dodson-Murphy's approach [2].
In this paper, we utilize the method in Dodson-Murphy [4] to establish the radial scattering result for the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inverse square potential $i\pa_tu-\la u=-|u|^{p-1}u$ in the energy space $H^1_a(\R^d)$ in dimensions $d\geq3$, which extends the result of [10,11] to higher dimensions cases but with radial initial data. The new ingredient is to establish the dispersive estimate for radial function and overcome the weak dispersive estimate when $a<0$.
We address existence of global solutions to the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation without the small-norm assumption. By using the inverse scattering transform method without eigenvalues and resonances, we construct a unique global solution in $H^2(\mathbb{R}) \cap H^{1,1}(\mathbb{R})$ which is also Lipschitz continuous with respect to the initial data. Compared to the existing literature on the spectral problem for the DNLS equation, the corresponding Riemann--Hilbert problem is defined in the complex plane with the jump on the real line.

In this paper, we study the scattering theory for the cubic inhomogeneous Schrödinger equations with inverse square potential $iu_t+Δu-\frac{a}{|x|^2}u=λ|x|^{-b}|u|^2u$ with $a>-\frac14$ and $0<b<1$ in dimension three. In the defocusing case (i.e. $λ=1$), we establish the global well-posedness and scattering for any initial data in the energy space $H^1_a(\mathbb R^3)$. While for the focusing case(i.e. $λ=-1$), we obtain the scattering for the initial data below the threshold of the ground state, by making use of the virial/Morawetz argument as in Dodson-Murphy [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.,145(2017…
Blow-up or grow-up for the focusing 3D cubic NLS with a repulsive inverse-power potential at the mass--energy threshold
Universidad del Valle（德爾瓦列大學）；Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics（應用物理與計算數學研究所）；Basque Center for Applied Mathematics（巴斯克應用數學中心）
We consider the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inverse-square potential in $\mathbb{R}^N$ $$ i u_t + \mathcal{L}_a u+λ|x|^{-b}|u|^αu = 0,\;\;\mathcal{L}_a=Δ-\frac{a}{|x|^2}, $$ where $λ=\pm1$, $α,b>0$ and $a>-\frac{(N-2)^2}{4}$. We first establish sufficient conditions for global existence and blow-up in $H^1_a(\mathbb{R}^N)$ for $λ=1$, using a Gagliardo-Nirenberg-type estimate. In the sequel, we study local and global well-posedness in $H^1_a(\mathbb{R}^N)$ in the $H^1$-subcritical case, applying the standard Strichartz estimates combined with the fixed point argument. The …
We study minimal mass blow-up solutions of the focusing $L^2$ critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inverse-square potential, \[ i\partial_t u + Δu + \frac{c}{|x|^2}u+|u|^{\frac{4}{N}}u = 0, \] with $N\geqslant 3$ and $0<c<\frac{(N-2)^2}{4}$. We first prove a sharp global well-posedness result: all $H^1$ solutions with a mass (i.e. $L^2$ norm) strictly below that of the ground states are global. Note that, unlike the equation in free space, we do not know if the ground state is unique in the presence of the inverse-square potential. Nevertheless, all ground states have the same, minimal…
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 prove the existence of global solutions to the DNLS equation with initial data in a large subset of $H^2(\mathbb R)\cap H^{1,1}(\mathbb R)$ containing a neighborhood of all solitons. We use the inverse scattering transform method, which was recently developed by D. Pelinovsky and Y. Shimabukuro, and an auto-Bäcklund transform in order to include solitons.
Scattering for Defocusing NLS with Inhomogeneous Nonlinear Damping and Nonlinear Trapping Potential

We consider a class of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inverse-square potential \[ i\partial_t u + Δu -c|x|^{-2}u = - |u|^αu, \quad u(0)=u_0 \in H^1, \quad (t,x)\in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^d, \] where $d\geq 3$, $\frac{4}{d}\leq α\leq \frac{4}{d-2}$ and $c\ne 0$ satisfies $c>-λ(d):=-\left(\frac{d-2}{2}\right)^2$. In the mass-critical case $α=\frac{4}{d}$, we prove the global existence and blowup below ground states for the equation with $d\geq 3$ and $c>-λ(d)$. In the mass and energy intercritical case $\frac{4}{d}<α<\frac{4}{d-2}$, we prove the global existence and blowu…
We establish inhomogeneous Strichartz Estimates for the Schr{ö}dinger equation with singular and time dependent potentials for non-admissible pairs. Our work extends the results provided by Vilela [23] and Foschi [6] where they proved the results in the absence of potential. It also extends the works of Pierfelice [20] and Burq, Planchon, Stalker, Tahvildar-Zadeh [3], who proved the estimates for admissible pairs. We also extend the recent work of Mizutani, Zhang, Zheng [17] and as an application of it, we improve the stability result of Kenig-Merle [13], which in turn establishes a proof (alt…
We prove the existence of quasi-periodic solutions for Schroedinger equations with a multiplicative potential on T^d, d \geq 1, merely differentiable nonlinearities, and tangential frequencies constrained along a pre-assigned direction. The solutions have only Sobolev regularity both in time and space. If the nonlinearity and the potential are infinitely many times differentiable so are the solutions. The proofs are based on an improved Nash-Moser iterative scheme, which assumes the weakest tame estimates for the inverse linearized operators ("Green functions") along scales of Sobolev spaces. …
We consider the Cauchy problem for the integrable nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger (NNLS) equation $ \I\partial_t q(x,t)+\partial_{x}^2q(x,t)+2σq^{2}(x,t)\overline{q(-x,t)}=0 $ with initial data $q(x,0)\in H^{1,1}(\mathbb{R})$. It is known that the NNLS equation is integrable and it has soliton solutions, which can have isolated finite time blow-up points. The main aim of this work is to propose a suitable concept for continuation of weak $H^{1,1}$ local solutions of the general Cauchy problem (particularly, those admitting long-time soliton resolution) beyond possible singularities. Our main to…
These notes are a considerably revised and expanded version of expository lectures given at the Fields Institute Workshop on "Nonlinear Dispersive Partial Differential Equations and Inverse Scattering" in August 2017. We give a complete and self-contained treatment of inverse scattering for the defocussing cubic NLS in one-dimension, following the 2003 paper of Deift and Zhou, and the defocussing Davey-Stewartson equation in two space dimensions, following the work of Perry and more recent work of Nachman, Regev, and Tataru.
We refine and develop the inverse scattering theory on a lattice in such a way that the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice and derivative NLS lattices as well as their matrix analogs can be solved in a unified way. The inverse scattering method for the (matrix analog of the) Ablowitz-Ladik lattice is simplified to the same level as that for the continuous NLS system. Using the linear eigenfunctions of the Lax pair for the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice, we can construct solutions of the derivative NLS lattices such as the discrete Gerdjikov-Ivanov (also known as Ablowitz-Ramani-Segur) system and the discrete Kaup…
We use the inverse scattering transform, the auto-Backlund transformation and the steepest descent method of Deift and Zhou to obtain the asymptotic stability of the solitons in the cubic NLS (nonlinear Schrodinger) equation.
According to its Lax pair formulation, the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation can be expressed as the compatibility condition of two linear ordinary differential equations with an analytic dependence on a complex parameter. The first of these equations---often referred to as the \emph{$x$-part} of the Lax pair---can be rewritten as an eigenvalue problem for a Zakharov-Shabat operator. The spectral analysis of this operator is crucial for the solution of the initial value problem for the NLS equation via inverse scattering techniques. For space-periodic solutions, this leads to the existence …
Spectral theory for self-adjoint Dirac operators with periodic potentials and inverse scattering transform for the defocusing nonlinear Schroedinger equation with periodic boundary conditions
We consider the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the critical inverse square potential. We give the first proof of the uniqueness of the ground state solution. Consequently, we obtain a sharp Hardy-Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequality. Moreover, we provide a complete characterization for the minimal mass blow-up solutions to the time dependent problem.
