Global existence for the defocusing mass-critical nonlinear fourth-order Schr\"odinger equation below the energy space

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the defocusing mass-critical nonlinear fourth-order Schr\"odinger equation. Using the $I$-method combined with the interaction Morawetz estimate, we prove that the problem is globally well-posed in $H^\gamma(\mathbb{R}^d), 5\leq d\leq 7$ with $\gamma(d)<\gamma<2$, where $\gamma(5)=\frac{8}{5}, \gamma(6)=\frac{5}{3}$ and $\gamma(7)=\frac{13}{7}$.
