Abstract

In this article we consider the defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, with time-dependent potential, in space dimensions n=1,2n=1, 2 and 33, with nonlinearity up1u|u|^{p-1} u, pp an odd integer, satisfying p5p \geq 5 in dimension 11, p3p \geq 3 in dimension 22 and p=3p=3 in dimension 33. We also allow a metric perturbation, assumed to be compactly supported in spacetime, and nontrapping. We work with module regularity spaces, which are defined by regularity of order k2k \geq 2 under the action of certain vector fields generating symmetries of the free Schr\"odinger equation. We solve the large data final state problem, with final state in a module regularity space, and show convergence of the solution to the final state.
