Unconditional uniqueness for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in Ḣ1/2(Bbb R3)
Abstract
While unconditional uniqueness for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on Bbb R3 is known in the scaling-subcritical Sobolev spaces Ḣs(Bbb R3) for 1/2<s<1, the critical case s=1/2 has remained open. We resolve this problem by adapting Kato's bootstrap argument to the critical space Ḃ−1∞,∞. The main difficulty at this endpoint is that the natural solution class does not provide the coefficient regularity required to close the bootstrap in Ḃ−1∞,∞. To overcome this issue, we perform a second Duhamel iteration of Born type and estimate the resulting double Duhamel integral as a whole. This yields improved estimates that allow the bootstrap to close in Ḃ−1∞,∞ using only the available regularity of the coefficients.
