Abstract: We consider the Cauchy problem for the defocusing cubic nonlinear Schr"odinger equation in four space dimensions and establish almost sure local well-posedness and conditional almost sure scattering for random initial data in Hxs(mathbbR4) with frac13<s<1. The main ingredient in the proofs is the introduction of a functional framework for the study of the associated forced cubic nonlinear Schr"odinger equation, which is inspired by certain function spaces used in the study of the Schr"odinger maps problem, and is based on Strichartz spaces as well as variants of local smoothing, inhomogeneous local smoothing, and maximal function spaces. Additionally, we prove an almost sure scattering result for randomized radially symmetric initial data in Hxs(mathbbR4) with frac12<s<1.


The authors study the Cauchy problem for the cubic non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with the spatial variable living in \(\mathbb{R}^4\). Smooth solutions of the equation enjoy invariance by a scaling transformation and also conservation of energy. However, the scaling transformation leaves the norm of the Sobolev space \(H^s(\mathbb{R}^4)\) invariant when \(s < s_c:=1\); that is the reason behind considering the exponent \(s_c=1\) as a critical exponent; the Cauchy problem is then studied for initial data in the Sobolev space \(H^s(\mathbb{R}^4)\) with \(s<1\). Starting with an initial data \(f\in H^s(\mathbb{R}^4)\), the authors introduce a randomization of \(f\), yielding a new initial data \(f^\omega\). For the randomized initial data \(f^\omega\), the authors establish local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for \(\frac13 < s <1\) (i.e. local in time existence and uniqueness of the solution); that is the content of Theorem~1.3. The other main result, Theorem~1.9, establishes a global solution which scatters at infinite time, in the sense that it behaves like \(e^{i\Delta}(f^\omega+ v^\pm)\) as \(t\to\pm \infty\), for some states \(v^\pm\in \dot H^1(\mathbb{R}^4)\); this scattering result is valid under the hypothesis that the initial data \(f\) is radially symmetric.
