Scattering for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with concentrated nonlinearity

Analysis of PDEs 2025-07-22 v1

Abstract

We consider the cubic defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in one dimension with the nonlinearity concentrated at a single point. We prove global well-posedness in the scaling-critical space L2(R)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.
