Semilinear Schrödinger flows on hyperbolic spaces: scattering in \(H^{1}\) (Q834776): Difference between revisions

The authors prove the well-posedness and scattering in \(H^1\) of the initial-value problem for a nonlinear Schrödinger equation of the form \((i\partial_t+\Delta_g)u=N(u)\), \(u(0)=\phi\) on the hyperbolic spaces \(\mathbb{H}^d\), \(d\geq 2\), where the nonlinearity is of the form \(N(u)=u|u|^{2\sigma}\), for appropriate values of \(\sigma\in (0,\infty)\). Such a problem on Euclidean spaces has been studied extensively, see the books [\textit{T. Cazenave}, Semilinear Schrödinger equations. Courant Lecture Notes in Mathematics 10. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS); New York, NY: Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. (2003; Zbl 1055.35003)] and [\textit{T. Tao}, Nonlinear dispersive equations. Local and global analysis. CBMS Regional Conference Series in Mathematics 106. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS). (2006; Zbl 1106.35001)] and the references therein. On Euclidean spaces, the global well-posedness is known, and scattering to linear solutions has been shown for \(\sigma\in (2/d,2/(d-2))\) while it is known to fail for \(\sigma\in (0,1/d)\), which makes the results of the present paper surprising.
