Global well-posedness for the defocusing cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on $\Bbb T^3$

Abstract

In this article, we investigate the global well-posedness for the defocusing, cubic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation posed on $\T^3$ with intial data lying in its critical space $H^\frac{1}{2}(\T^3)$. By establishing the linear profile decomposition, and applied this to the concentration-compactness/rigidity argument, we prove that if the solution remains bounded in the critical Sobolev space throughout the maximal lifespan, i.e. $u\in L_t^\infty{H}^\frac{1}{2}(I\times\T^3)$, then $u$ is global.
