Scattering of the three-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with partial harmonic potentials

Abstract

We consider the following three-dimensional defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with partial harmonic potential:

{ itu + (Δ3 x2)u = |u|2u, u|t=0 = u0. (NLS)

Our main result shows that the solution u scatters for any given initial data u0 with finite mass and energy.

The main new ingredient in our approach is to approximate (NLS) in the large-scale case by a relevant dispersive continuous resonant (DCR) system. The proof of global well-posedness and scattering of the new (DCR) system is greatly inspired by the fundamental works of Dodson (2012, 2016) in his study of scattering for the mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The analysis of (DCR) system allows us to utilize the additional regularity of the smooth nonlinear profile so that the celebrated concentration-compactness/rigidity argument of Kenig and Merle (2006, 2008) applies.
