Abstract

Consider the mass-critical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in both focusing and defocusing cases for initial data in L2L^2 in space dimension N. By Strichartz inequality, solutions to the corresponding linear problem belong to a global LpL^p space in the time and space variables, where p=2+4/Np=2+4/N. In 1D and 2D, the best constant for the Strichartz inequality was computed by D.~Foschi who has also shown that the maximizers are the solutions with Gaussian initial data. Solutions to the nonlinear problem with small initial data in L2L^2 are globally defined and belong to the same global LpL^p space. In this work we show that the maximum of the LpL^p norm is attained for a given small mass. In addition, in 1D and 2D, we show that the maximizer is unique and obtain a precise estimate of the maximum. In order to prove this we show that the maximum for the linear problem in 1D and 2D is nondegenerated.
