The theory of the cubic NLS in R^4 is as follows.

• Scaling is $s_{c}=1\,$.
• LWP is known for $s\geq 1\,$ CaWe1990.
  • For $s=1\,$ the time of existence depends on the profile of the data as well as the norm.
  • For $s<1\,$ we have ill-posedness, indeed the H^s norm can get arbitrarily large arbitrarily quickly CtCoTa-p2. In the focusing case we have instantaneous blowup from the virial identity and scaling.
• GWP and scattering for $s\geq 1\,$ (Ryckman-Visan)
  • In the radial case this is in Bo1999.
  • For small energy data this is in CaWe1990.
