Global wellposedness and scattering for the inhomogeneous fourth-order Schrodinger equation

Benoit Pausader, Brown University

Fourth-order Schrödinger equations were proposed as a correction to the standard model for propagation of laser in nonlinear media and have since appeared in different contexts. In this talk, I will consider the inhomogeneous mass-critical fourth-order Schrödinger equation iut+D2uDu+|u|8/nu=0 and prove global existence and scattering in L2 in high dimensions. The main analysis is reduced to a good understanding of the scaling limit problems which are scale invariant. This is a joint work with Shuanglin Shao.
