On the global well-posedness of energy-critical Schrödinger equations in curved spaces

Alexandru D. Ionescu, Benoit Pausader and Gigliola Staffilani

Vol. 5 (2012), No. 4, 705–746
Abstract

In this paper we present a method to study global regularity properties of solutions of large-data critical Schrödinger equations on certain noncompact Riemannian manifolds. We rely on concentration compactness arguments and a global Morawetz inequality adapted to the geometry of the manifold (in other words we adapt the method of Kenig and Merle to the variable coefficient case), and a good understanding of the corresponding Euclidean problem (a theorem of Colliander, Keel, Staffilani, Takaoka and Tao).

As an application we prove global well-posedness and scattering in H1 for the energy-critical defocusing initial-value problem

(it + Δg)u = u|u|4,u(0) = ϕ,

on hyperbolic space 3.

Keywords
