Blow-up dynamics for $L^2$-critical fractional Schrödinger equations

Abstract

In this paper, we will consider the $L^2$-critical fractional Schrödinger equation $iu_t-|D|^βu+|u|^{2β}u=0$ with initial data $u_0\in H^{β/2}(\mathbb{R})$ and $β$ close to $2$. We will show that the solution blows up in finite time if the initial data has negative energy and slightly supercritical mass. We will also give a specific description for the blow-up dynamics. This is an extension of the work of F. Merle and P. Raphaël for $L^2$-critical Schrödinger equations but the nonlocal structure of this equation and the lack of some symmetries make the analysis more complicated, hence some new strategies are required.
