Global well-posedness and scattering for the defocusing, $L^{2}$-critical, nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation when $d = 2$

Abstract

In this paper we prove that the defocusing, cubic nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger initial value problem is globally well-posed and scattering for $u_{0} \in L^{2}(\mathbf{R}^{2})$. To do this, we will prove a frequency localized interaction Morawetz estimate similar to the estimate made in \cite{CKSTT4}. Since we are considering an $L^{2}$ - critical initial value problem we will localize to low frequencies.
