Global well-posedness of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on ${\mathbb{T}}^2$

Abstract

We prove global well-posedness for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation for periodic initial data in the mass-critical dimension $d=2$ for initial data of arbitrary size in the defocusing case and data below the ground state threshold in the focusing case. The result is based on a new inverse Strichartz inequality, which is proved by using incidence geometry and additive combinatorics, in particular, the inverse theorems for Gowers uniformity norms by Green-Tao-Ziegler. This allows to transfer the analogous results of Dodson for the non-periodic mass-critical NLS to the periodic setting. In addition, we construct an approximate periodic solution which implies sharpness of the results.
