The radial defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in three space dimensions

Abstract

We study the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in three space dimensions. We prove that any radial solution that remains bounded in the critical Sobolev space must be global and scatter. In the energy-supercritical setting, we employ a space-localized Lin--Strauss Morawetz inequality of Bourgain. In the inter-critical regime, we prove long-time Strichartz estimates and frequency-localized Lin--Strauss Morawetz inequalities.
