Sobolev spaces adapted to the Schrödinger operator with inverse-square potential

We study the $L^p$-theory for the Schrödinger operator $\mathcal L_a$ with inverse-square potential $a|x|^{-2}$. Our main result describes when $L^p$-based Sobolev spaces defined in terms of the operator $(\mathcal L_a)^{s/2}$ agree with those defined via $(-Δ)^{s/2}$. We consider all regularities $0<s<2$. In order to make the paper self-contained, we also review (with proofs) multiplier theorems, Littlewood-Paley theory, and Hardy-type inequalities associated to the operator $\mathcal L_a$.

The energy-critical NLS with inverse-square potential

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.

The focusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in dimensions five and higher

We consider the focusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation $iu_t+Δu = - |u|^{\frac4{d-2}}u$ in dimensions $d\geq 5$. We prove that if a maximal-lifespan solution $u:I\times\R^d\to \C$ obeys $\sup_{t\in I}\|\nabla u(t)\|_2<\|\nabla W\|_2$, then it is global and scatters both forward and backward in time. Here $W$ denotes the ground state, which is a stationary solution of the equation. In particular, if a solution has both energy and kinetic energy less than those of the ground state $W$ at some point in time, then the solution is global and scatters. We also show that any solution that blows up with bounded kinetic energy must concentrate at least the kinetic energy of the ground state. Similar results were obtained by Kenig and Merle in \cite{Evian, kenig-merle} for spherically symmetric initial data and dimensions $d=3,4,5$.

Global well-posedness and scattering for the defocusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $\R^{1+4}$

We obtain global well-posedness, scattering, uniform regularity, and global $L^6_{t,x}$ spacetime bounds for energy-space solutions to the defocusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $\R\times\R^4$. Our arguments closely follow those of Colliander-Keel-Staffilani-Takaoka-Tao, though our derivation of the frequency-localized interaction Morawetz estimate is somewhat simpler. As a consequence, our method yields a better bound on the $L^6_{t,x}$-norm.

A counterexample to dispersive estimates for Schrödinger operators in higher dimensions

In dimension $n>3$ we show the existence of a compactly supported potential in the differentiability class $C^α$, $α< \frac{n-3}2$, for which the solutions to the linear Schrödinger equation in $\R^n$, $$ -i\partial_t u = - Δu + Vu, \quad u(0)=f, $$ do not obey the usual $L^1\to L^{\infty}$ dispersive estimate. This contrasts with known results in dimensions $n \leq 3$, where a pointwise decay condition on $V$ is generally sufficient to imply dispersive bounds.
