Abstract: We consider the focusing mass-critical NLS $i{u}_t+Deltau=-|u{|}^{4/d}u$ in high dimensions $dgeq4$, with initial data $u(0)=u_0$ having finite mass $M(u_0)=in{t}_{R^d}|u_0(x){|}^{2}dx<infty$. It is well known that this problem admits unique (but not global) strong solutions in the Strichartz class $C_{t,loc}^0{L}_x^{2}cap{L}_{t,loc}^2{L}_x^{2d/(d-2)}$, and also admits global (but not unique) weak solutions in $L^{i}nft{y}_t{L}_x^2$. In this paper we introduce an intermediate class of solution, which we call a emph{semi-Strichartz class solution}, for which one does have global existence and uniqueness in dimensions $dgeq4$. In dimensions $dgeq5$ and assuming spherical symmetry, we also show the equivalence of the Strichartz class and the strong solution class (and also of the semi-Strichartz class and the semi-strong solution class), thus establishing ``unconditional uniqueness results in the strong and semi-strong classes. With these assumptions we also characterise these solutions in terms of the continuity properties of the mass function $tmapstoM(u(t))$.
