    Let M be a \(C^{\infty}\) complete Riemann manifold with a countable basis and without boundary. Denote by \(L^ 2\) the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on M. In the distribution sense consider the Cauchy problem for the ``nonlinear Schrödinger equation'' \([- i\partial_ t-\Delta +{\mathbf{B}}+C]u=f,\) where \(\Delta\) denotes the Laplace-Beltrami operator on M, C a given \(C^{\infty}\) function on M, \textbf{B} a given complexified \(C^{\infty}\) vector field on M and \textbf{B}u the Lie derivative; the unknown function u and the given one f are continuous functions of \(t\in [0,T]\) or \(t\in [-T,0]\) \((T>0)\) with values in \(L^ 2\); the value of u at \(t=0\) is given. Denote by \(\omega_{{\mathbf{B}}}\) the 1-form on M defined by \textbf{B}. The following theorem is proved: If the Cauchy problem is well posed, then the following condition holds: \(\sup_{\gamma \in \Gamma}| \int_{\gamma}Re \omega_{{\mathbf{B}}}| <\infty\), where \(\Gamma\) is the family of all geodesics on M. The proof deduces from the well-posedness of the problem an estimate of its solutions. Then, assuming the preceding condition not satisfied and using Maslov's construction of asymptotic solutions of the homogeneous problem (i.e. \(f=0)\), the proof constructs nonhomogeneous problems with solutions contradicting that estimate.
