Abstract

In this article we prove global propagation of analyticity in finite time for solutions of semilinear Schr\"odinger equations with analytic nonlinearity from a region ω\omega where the Geometric Control Condition holds. Our approach refines a recent technique introduced by Laurent and the author, which combines control theory techniques and Galerkin approximation, to propagate analyticity in time from a zone where observability holds. As a main consequence, we obtain unique continuation for subcritical semilinear Schr\"odinger equations on compact manifolds of dimension 22 and 33 when the solution is assumed to vanish on ω\omega. Furthermore, semiglobal control and stabilization follow only under the Geometric Control Condition on the observation zone. In particular, this answers in the affirmative an open question of Dehman, G\'erard, and Lebeau from 20062006 for the nonlinear case.
