The theory of the cubic NLS in R^4 is as follows.

  • Scaling is s_c = 1\,.
  • LWP is known for s \ge 1\, CaWe1990.
    • For s=1\, the time of existence depends on the profile of the data as well as the norm.
    • For s<1\, we have ill-posedness, indeed the H^s norm can get arbitrarily large arbitrarily quickly CtCoTa-p2. In the focusing case we have instantaneous blowup from the virial identity and scaling.
  • GWP and scattering for s\ge 1\, (Ryckman-Visan)
    • In the radial case this is in Bo1999.
    • For small energy data this is in CaWe1990.
