Scattering for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with concentrated nonlinearity

We consider the cubic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in one dimension with the nonlinearity concentrated at a single point. We prove global well-posedness in the scaling-critical space $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ and scattering for all such solutions. Moreover, we demonstrate that the same phenomenology holds whenever nonlinear effects are sufficiently concentrated in space.

Abstract

We consider the cubic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in one dimension with the nonlinearity concentrated at a single point. We prove global well-posedness in the scaling-critical space $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ and scattering for all such solutions. Moreover, we demonstrate that the same phenomenology holds whenever nonlinear effects are sufficiently concentrated in space.
