We prove the existence of global solutions to the focusing energy-supercritical semilinear wave equation in R^{3+1} for arbitrary outgoing large initial data, after we modify the equation by projecting the nonlinearity on outgoing states.
We establish Strichartz estimates (both reversed and some direct ones), pointwise decay estimates, and weighted decay estimates for the linear wave equation in dimension two with an almost scaling-critical potential, in the case when there is no resonance or eigenvalue at the edge of the spectrum. We also prove some simple nonlinear applications.
We prove Strichartz-type estimates for Schroedinger's equation with time-dependent potentials. The time derivative of the potentials need not be integrable, so the total variation of the potentials may be infinite.
We prove sharp Strichartz-type estimates in three dimensions, including some which hold in reverse spacetime norms, for the wave equation with potential. These results are also tied to maximal operator estimates studied by Rogers--Villaroya, of which we prove a sharper version. As a sample application, we use these results to prove the local well-posedness and the global well-posedness for small initial data of semilinear wave equations in R^3 with quintic or higher monomial nonlinearities.
Consider the focusing semilinear wave equation in R^3 with energy-critical nonlinearity \partial_t^2 ψ- Δψ- ψ^5 = 0, ψ(0) = ψ_0, \partial_t ψ(0) = ψ_1. This equation admits stationary solutions of the form ϕ(x, a) := (3a)^{1/4} (1+a|x|^2)^{-1/2}, called solitons, which solve the elliptic equation -Δϕ- ϕ^5 = 0. Restricting ourselves to the space of symmetric solutions ψfor which ψ(x) = ψ(-x), we find a local centre-stable manifold, in a neighborhood of ϕ(x, 1), for this wave equation in the weighted Sobolev space ^{-1} \dot H^1 \times ^{-1} L^2. Solutions with initial data on the manifold exist globally in time for t \geq 0, depend continuously on initial data, preserve energy, and can be written as the sum of a rescaled soliton and a dispersive radiation term. The proof is based on a new class of reverse Strichartz estimates, introduced in Beceanu-Goldberg and adapted here to the case of Hamiltonians with a resonance.
We prove a structure formula for the wave operators in R^3 and their adjoints for a scaling-invariant class of scalar potentials V, under the assumption that zero is neither an eigenvalue, nor a resonance for -Δ+V. The formula implies the boundedness of wave operators on L^p spaces, 1 \leq p \leq \infty, on weighted L^p spaces, and on Sobolev spaces, as well as multilinear estimates for e^{itH} P_c. When V decreases rapidly at infinity, we obtain an asymptotic expansion of the wave operators. The first term of the expansion is of order < y >^{-4}, commutes with the Laplacian, and exists when V \in ^{-3/2-ε} L^2. We also prove that the scattering operator S = W_-^* W_+ is an integrable combination of isometries. The proof is based on an abstract version of Wiener's theorem, applied in a new function space.
We study Schroedinger's equation with a potential moving along a Brownian motion path. We prove a RAGE-type theorem and Strichartz estimates for the solution on average.
Consider the focusing cubic semilinear Schroedinger equation in R^3 i \partial_t ψ+ Δψ+ | ψ|^2 ψ= 0. It admits an eight-dimensional manifold of special solutions called ground state solitons. We exhibit a codimension-one critical real-analytic manifold N of asymptotically stable solutions in a neighborhood of the soliton manifold. We then show that N is centre-stable, in the dynamical systems sense of Bates-Jones, and globally-in-time invariant. Solutions in N are asymptotically stable and separate into two asymptotically free parts that decouple in the limit --- a soliton and radiation. Conversely, in a general setting, any solution that stays close to the soliton manifold for all time is in N. The proof uses the method of modulation. New elements include a different linearization and an endpoint Strichartz estimate for the time-dependent linearized equation. The proof also uses the fact that the linearized Hamiltonian has no nonzero real eigenvalues or resonances. This has recently been established in the case treated here --- of the focusing cubic NLS in R^3 --- by the work of Marzuola-Simpson and Costin-Huang-Schlag.
This paper proves endpoint Strichartz estimates for the linear Schroedinger equation in $R^3$, with a time-dependent potential that keeps a constant profile and is subject to a rough motion, which need not be differentiable and may be large in norm. The potential is also subjected to a time-dependent rescaling, with a non-differentiable dilation parameter. We use the Strichartz estimates to prove the non-dispersion of bound states, when the path is small in norm, as well as boundedness of energy. We also include a sample nonlinear application of the linear results.
This paper establishes new estimates for linear Schroedinger equations in R^3 with time-dependent potentials. Some of the results are new even in the time-independent case and all are shown to hold for potentials in scaling-critical, translation-invariant spaces. The proof of the time-independent results uses a novel method based on an abstract version of Wiener's Theorem.
We prove a dispersive estimate for the evolution of Schroedinger operators H = -Δ+ V(x) in three dimensions. The potential should belong to the closure of bounded compactly-supported functions with respect to the golbal Kato norm. Some additional spectral conditions are imposed, namely that no resonances or eigenfunctions of H exist anywhere on the positive half-line. The proof is an application of a new version of Wiener's L^1 inversion theorem.
Consider the H^{1/2}-critical Schroedinger equation with a cubic nonlinearity in R^3, i \partial_t ψ+ Δψ+ |ψ|^2 ψ= 0. It admits an eight-dimensional manifold of periodic solutions called solitons e^{i(Γ+ vx - t|v|^2 + α^2 t)} ϕ(x-2tv-D, α), where ϕ(x, α) is a positive ground state solution of the semilinear elliptic equation -Δϕ+ α^2ϕ= ϕ^3. We prove that in the neighborhood of the soliton manifold there exists a H^{1/2} real analytic manifold N of asymptotically stable solutions of the Schroedinger equation, meaning they are the sum of a moving soliton and a dispersive term. Furthermore, a solution starting on N remains on N for all positive time and for some finite negative time and N can be identified as the centre-stable manifold for this equation. The proof is based on the method of modulation, introduced by Soffer and Weinstein and adapted by Schlag to the L^2-supercritical case. Novel elements include a different linearization and new Strichartz-type estimates for the linear Schroedinger equation. The main result depends on a spectral assumption concerning the absence of embedded eigenvalues. We also establish several new estimates for solutions of the time-dependent and time-independent linear Schroedinger equation, which hold under sharper or more general conditions than previously known. Several of these estimates are based on a new approach that makes use of Wiener's Theorem in the context of function spaces.
Consider the focussing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $R^3$: $$ iψ_t+Δψ= -|ψ|^2 ψ. $$ It admits special solutions of the form $e^{itα}ϕ$, where $ϕ$ is a Schwartz function and a positive ($ϕ>0$) solution of $$ -Δϕ+ αϕ= ϕ^3. $$ The space of all such solutions, together with those obtained from them by rescaling and applying phase and Galilean coordinate changes, called standing waves, is the eight-dimensional manifold that consists of functions of the form $e^{i(v \cdot + Γ)} ϕ(\cdot - y, α)$. We prove that any solution starting sufficiently close to a standing wave in the $Σ= W^{1, 2}(R^3) \cap |x|^{-1}L^2(R^3)$ norm and situated on a certain codimension-one local Lipschitz manifold exists globally in time and converges to a point on the manifold of standing waves. Furthermore, we show that $\mc N$ is invariant under the Hamiltonian flow, locally in time, and is a centre-stable manifold in the sense of Bates, Jones. The proof is based on the modulation method introduced by Soffer and Weinstein for the $L^2$-subcritical case and adapted by Schlag to the $L^2$-supercritical case. An important part of the proof is the Keel-Tao endpoint Strichartz estimate in $R^3$ for the nonselfadjoint Schrödinger operator obtained by linearizing around a standing wave solution.
