Inter-critical NLS: critical $\dot{H}^s$-bounds imply scattering

Abstract

We consider a class of power-type nonlinear Schrödinger equations for which the power of the nonlinearity lies between the mass- and energy-critical exponents. Following the concentration-compactness approach, we prove that if a solution $u$ is bounded in the critical Sobolev space throughout its lifespan, that is, $u\in L_t^\infty \dot{H}_x^{s_c}$, then $u$ is global and scatters.
