The energy-critical NLS s_c = 1\, occurs when d \geq 3 and p = 1 + 4/(d-2)\,. Note that the power non-linearity is smooth in dimensions d=3\, (quintic NLS) and d=4\, (cubic NLS).

LWP is known for all s \geq 1 CaWe1990.

The GWP and scattering theory in the energy class is as follows.

  • For small energy this is in GiVl1978, GiVl1979, Sr1981, Sr1981b.
  • For radial focusing data with energy less than the ground state this is in [Kenig-Merle]
  • For radial defocusing data in three and four dimensions this is in [Bourgain] (see also [Grillakis])
    • For radial defocusing data in higher dimensions, see Ta2005, [Visan-Zhang]
  • For defocusing data in three dimensions this is in [CKSTT]
    • For four dimensions, this is in [Ryckman-Visan]
    • For five and higher dimensions, this is in [Visan]
