Schrodinger estimates

Schrodinger estimates

Solutions to the linear Schrodinger equation and its perturbations are either estimated in mixed space-time norms Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle L^q_t L^r_x} or Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle L^r_x L^q_t} , or in X^{s,b} spaces defined by

Note that these spaces are not invariant under conjugation.

Linear space-time estimates in which the space norm is evaluated first are known as Strichartz estimates. They are useful for NLS without derivatives, but are much less useful for derivative non-linearities. Other linear estimates include smoothing estimates and maximal function estimates.

Strichartz estimates are also available on more general manifolds, and in the presence of a potential. Inhomogeneous estimates are also available off the line of duality; see Fc-p2 for a discussion.

Schrodinger Bilinear Estimates

• On R² we have the bilinear Strichartz estimate Bo1999:

Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \| uv \|_{X^{1/2+, 0}} \leq \| u \|_{X^{1/2+, 1/2+}} \| v \|_{X^{0+, 1/2+}}}

• On R² St1997, CoDeKnSt-p, Ta2001 we have the sharp estimates

Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \| \underline{u}\underline{v} \|_{X^{0, -1/2+}} \leq \| u \|_{X^{-1/2+, 1/2+}} \| v \|_{X^{-1/2+, 1/2+}}} Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \| \underline{u}\underline{v} \|_{X^{-1/2-, -1/2+}} \leq \| u \|_{X^{-3/4+, 1/2+}} \| v \|_{X^{-3/4+, 1/2+}}} Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \| uv \|_{X^{-1/2-, -1/2+}} \leq \| u \|_{X^{-3/4+, 1/2+}} \| v \|_{X^{-3/4+, 1/2+}}} Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \| u\underline{v} \|_{X^{-1/4+, -1/2+}} \leq \| u \|_{X^{-1/4+, 1/2+}} \| v \|_{X^{-1/4+, 1/2+}}}

• On R KnPoVe1996b we have

$\|{\underline {u}}{\underline {v}}\|_{X^{-3/4-,-1/2+}}\leq \|u\|_{X^{-3/4+,1/2+}}\|v\|_{X^{-3/4+,1/2+}}$ $\|uv\|_{X^{-3/4+,-1/2+}}\leq \|u\|_{X^{-3/4+,1/2+}}\|v\|_{X^{-3/4+,1/2+}}$ $\|u{\underline {v}}\|_{X^{-1/4+,-1/2+}}\leq \|u\|_{X^{-1/4+,1/2+}}\|v\|_{X^{-1/4+,1/2+}}$

and BkOgPo1998

$\|uv\|_{L_{t}^{\infty }H_{x}^{1/3}}\leq \|u\|_{X^{0,1/2+}}\|v\|_{X^{0,1/2+}}$

Also, if u has frequency $|\xi |\approx R\,$ and v has frequency $|\eta |<<R\,$ then we have (see e.g. CoKeStTkTa2003b)

$\|uv\|_{X^{1/2,0}}\leq \|u\|_{X^{0,1/2+}}\|v\|_{X^{0,1/2+}}$

and similarly for ${\underline {u}}v,u{\underline {v}},{\underline {uv}}\,$ .

• The s indices on the right cannot be lowered, but perhaps the s indices on the left can be raised in analogy with the R² estimates. The analogues on $T$ are also known KnPoVe1996b:

$\|{\underline {u}}{\underline {v}}\|_{X^{-1/2-,-1/2+}}\leq \|u\|_{X^{-1/2+,1/2+}}\|v\|_{X^{-1/2+,1/2+}}$ $\|uv\|_{X^{-3/4+,-1/2+}}\leq \|u\|_{X^{-1/2+,1/2+}}\|v\|_{X^{-1/2+,1/2+}}$ $\|u{\underline {v}}\|_{X^{0,-1/2+}}\leq \|u\|_{X^{0,1/2+}}\|v\|_{X^{0,1/2+}}$

In two dimensions, the endpoint linear Strichartz estimate continues to fail in the bilinear setting Ta2006c.

Schrodinger Trilinear estimates

• On R we have the following refinement to the $L^{6}$ Strichartz inequality Gr-p2:

$\|uvw\|_{X^{0,0}}\leq \|u\|_{X^{0,1/2+}}\|v\|_{X^{-1/4,1/2+}}\|w\|_{X^{1/4,1/2+}}$

Schrodinger Multilinear estimates

• In R² we have the variant

$\|u_{1}...u_{n}\|_{X^{1/2+,1/2+}}\leq \|u_{1}\|_{X^{1+,1/2+}}...\|u_{n}\|_{X^{1+,1/2+}}$

where each factor $u_{i}\,$ is allowed to be conjugated if desired. See St1997b, CoDeKnSt-p.
