The Cauchy problem for the critical inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $H^{s}(\mathbb R^{n})$ (2107.00796v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the critical inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger (INLS) equation [iu_{t} +\Delta u=|x|^{-b} f(u), ~u(0)=u_{0} \in H^{s} (\mathbb R^{n} ),] where $n\ge3$, $1\le s<\frac{n}{2} $, $0<b<2$ and $f(u)$ is a nonlinear function that behaves like $\lambda \left|u\right|^{\sigma } u$ with $\lambda \in \mathbb C$ and $\sigma =\frac{4-2b}{n-2s} $. We establish the local well-posedness as well as the small data global well-posedness and scattering in $H^{s} (\mathbb R^{n} )$ with $1\le s<\frac{n}{2}$ for the critical INLS equation under some assumption on $b$. To this end, we first establish various nonlinear estimates by using fractional Hardy inequality and then use the contraction mapping principle based on Strichartz estimates.
