Abstract

We study the problem of unconditional uniqueness of solutions to the cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. We introduce a new strategy to approach this problem on bounded domains, in particular on rectangular tori. It is a known fact that solutions to the cubic NLS give rise to solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii hierarchy, which is an infinite-dimensional system of linear equations. By using the uniqueness analysis of the Gross-Pitaevskii hierarchy, we obtain new unconditional uniqueness results for the cubic NLS on rectangular tori, which cover the full scaling-subcritical regime in high dimensions. In fact, we prove a more general result which is conditional on the domain. In addition, we observe that well-posedness of the cubic NLS in Fourier-Lebesgue spaces implies unconditional uniqueness.
