On the Cauchy problem for logarithmic fractional Schrödinger equation

Abstract

We consider the fractional Schrödinger equation with a logarithmic nonlinearity, when the power of the Laplacian is between zero and one. We prove global existence results in three different functional spaces: the Sobolev space corresponding to the quadratic form domain of the fractional Laplacian, the energy space, and a space contained in the operator domain of the fractional Laplacian. For this last case, a finite momentum assumption is made, and the key step consists in estimating the Lie commutator between the fractional Laplacian and the multiplication by a monomial.
