Blowup for fractional NLS

Abstract: We consider fractional NLS with focusing power-type nonlinearity

i partial_t u = (-Delta)^s u - |u|^{2 sigma} u, quad (t,x) in mathbb{R} imes mathbb{R}^N,

where

1 / 2 < s < 1

and

0 < s i g m a < i n f t y

for

s g e q N / 2

and

0 < s i g m a l e q 2 s / (N - 2 s)

for

s < N / 2

. We prove a general criterion for blowup of radial solutions in

m a t h b b R^{N}

with

N g e q 2

for

L^{2}

-supercritical and

L^{2}

-critical powers

s i g m a g e q 2 s / N

. In addition, we study the case of fractional NLS posed on a bounded star-shaped domain

O m e g a s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{N}

in any dimension

N g e q 1

and subject to exterior Dirichlet conditions. In this setting, we prove a general blowup result without imposing any symmetry assumption on

u (t, x)

. For the blowup proof in

m a t h b b R^{N}

, we derive a localized virial estimate for fractional NLS in

m a t h b b R^{N}

, which uses Balakrishnan's formula for the fractional Laplacian

(- D e l t a)^{s}

from semigroup theory. In the setting of bounded domains, we use a Pohozaev-type estimate for the fractional Laplacian to prove blowup.
