The profile decomposition for the hyperbolic Schrodinger equation


Abstract in English

In this note, we prove the profile decomposition for hyperbolic Schrodinger (or mixed signature) equations on $mathbb{R}^2$ in two cases, one mass-supercritical and one mass-critical. First, as a warm up, we show that the profile decomposition works for the ${dot H}^{frac12}$ critical problem, which gives a simple generalization of for instance one of the results in Fanelli-Visciglia (2013). Then, we give the derivation of the profile decomposition in the mass-critical case by proving an improved Strichartz estimate. We will use a very similar approach to that laid out in the notes of Killip-Visan (2008), but we are forced to do a double Whitney decomposition to accommodate an extra scaling symmetry that arises in the problem with mixed signature.
