Characterization of minimal-mass blowup solutions to the focusing mass-critical NLS

Let $d\geq 4$ and let $u$ be a global solution to the focusing mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation $iu_t+Δu=-|u|^{\frac 4d}u$ with spherically symmetric $H_x^1$ initial data and mass equal to that of the ground state $Q$. We prove that if $u$ does not scatter then, up to phase rotation and scaling, $u$ is the solitary wave $e^{it}Q$. Combining this result with that of Merle \cite{merle2}, we obtain that in dimensions $d\geq 4$, the only spherically symmetric minimal-mass blowup solutions are, up to phase rotation and scaling, the pseudo-conformal ground state and the solitary wave.

The mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation with radial data in dimensions three and higher

We establish global well-posedness and scattering for solutions to the mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation $iu_t + Δu = \pm |u|^{4/d} u$ for large spherically symmetric L^2_x(R^d) initial data in dimensions $d\geq 3$. In the focusing case we require that the mass is strictly less than that of the ground state. As a consequence, we obtain that in the focusing case, any spherically symmetric blowup solution must concentrate at least the mass of the ground state at the blowup time.

On the blowup for the $L^2$-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in higher dimensions below the energy class

We consider the focusing mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation and prove that blowup solutions to this equation with initial data in $H^s(\R^d)$, $s > s_0(d)$ and $d\geq 3$, concentrate at least the mass of the ground state at the blowup time. This extends recent work by J. Colliander, S. Raynor, C. Sulem, and J. D. Wright, \cite{crsw}, T. Hmidi and S. Keraani, \cite{hk}, and N. Tzirakis, \cite{tzirakis}, on the blowup of the two-dimensional and one-dimensional mass-critical focusing NLS below the energy space to all dimensions $d\ge 3$.

Minimal-mass blowup solutions of the mass-critical NLS

We consider the minimal mass $m_0$ required for solutions to the mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation $iu_t + Δu = μ|u|^{4/d} u$ to blow up. If $m_0$ is finite, we show that there exists a minimal-mass solution blowing up (in the sense of an infinite spacetime norm) in both time directions, whose orbit in $L^2_x(\R^d)$ is compact after quotienting out by the symmetries of the equation. A similar result is obtained for spherically symmetric solutions. Similar results were previously obtained by Keraani, \cite{keraani}, in dimensions 1, 2 and Begout and Vargas, \cite{begout}, in dimensions $d\geq 3$ for the mass-critical NLS and by Kenig and Merle, \cite{merlekenig}, in the energy-critical case. In a subsequent paper we shall use this compactness result to establish global existence and scattering in $L^2_x(\R^d)$ for the defocusing NLS in three and higher dimensions with spherically symmetric data.

Global well-posedness and scattering for the mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation for radial data in high dimensions

We establish global well-posedness and scattering for solutions to the defocusing mass-critical (pseudoconformal) nonlinear Schrödinger equation $iu_t + Δu = |u|^{4/n} u$ for large spherically symmetric $L^2_x(\R^n)$ initial data in dimensions $n\geq 3$. After using the reductions in \cite{compact} to reduce to eliminating blowup solutions which are almost periodic modulo scaling, we obtain a frequency-localized Morawetz estimate and exclude a mass evacuation scenario (somewhat analogously to \cite{ckstt:gwp}, \cite{RV}, \cite{thesis:art}) in order to conclude the argument.

Global well-posedness and scattering for a class of nonlinear Schrodinger equations below the energy space

We prove global well-posedness and scattering for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with power-type nonlinearity \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} i u_t +Δu = |u|^p u, \quad \frac{4}{n}<p<\frac{4}{n-2}, u(0,x) = u_0(x)\in H^s(\R^n), \quad n\geq 3, \end{cases} \end{equation*} below the energy space, i.e., for $s<1$. In \cite{ckstt:low7}, J. Colliander, M. Keel, G. Staffilani, H. Takaoka, and T. Tao established polynomial growth of the $H^s_x$-norm of the solution, and hence global well-posedness for initial data in $H^s_x$, provided $s$ is sufficiently close to 1. However, their bounds are insufficient to yield scattering. In this paper, we use the \emph{a priori} interaction Morawetz inequality to show that scattering holds in $H^s(\R^n)$ whenever $s$ is larger than some value $0<s_0(n,p)<1$.

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation with combined power-type nonlinearities

We undertake a comprehensive study of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation $$ i u_t +Δu = λ_1|u|^{p_1} u+ λ_2 |u|^{p_2} u, $$ where $u(t,x)$ is a complex-valued function in spacetime $\R_t\times\R^n_x$, $λ_1$ and $λ_2$ are nonzero real constants, and $0 0$ and $p_1=\frac{4}{n}$, $p_2=\frac{4}{n-2}$. The results at the endpoint $p_1 = \frac{4}{n}$ are conditional on a conjectured global existence and spacetime estimate for the $L^2_x$-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation. As an off-shoot of our analysis, we also obtain a new, simpler proof of scattering in $H^1_x$ for solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation $$ i u_t +Δu = |u|^{p} u, $$ with $\frac{4}{n}<p<\frac{4}{n-2}$, which was first obtained by J. Ginibre and G. Velo, \cite{gv:scatter}.
