Abstract

Consider the global wellposedness problem for nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation itu=[12Δ+V(x)]u±u4/(d2)u, u(0)Σ(Rd), i\partial_t u = [-\tfrac{1}{2} \Delta + V(x)] u \pm |u|^{4/(d-2)} u, \ u(0) \in \Sigma(\mathbf{R}^d), where Σ\Sigma is the weighted Sobolev space H˙1x1L2\dot{H}^1 \cap |x|^{-1} L^2. The case V(x)=12x2V(x) = \tfrac{1}{2}|x|^2 was recently treated by the author. This note generalizes the results to a class of "approximately quadratic" potentials. We closely follow the previous concentration compactness arguments for the harmonic oscillator. A key technical difference is that in the absence of a concrete formula for the linear propagator, we apply more general tools from microlocal analysis, including a Fourier integral parametrix of Fujiwara.
