Weak martingale solutions for the stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equation driven by pure jump noise

Abstract

We construct a martingale solution of the stochastic nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) with a multiplicative noise of jump type in the Marcus canonical form. The problem is formulated in a general framework that covers the subcritical focusing and defocusing stochastic NLS in $$H^1$$ on compact manifolds and on bounded domains with various boundary conditions. The proof is based on a variant of the Faedo-Galerkin method. In the formulation of the approximated equations, finite dimensional operators derived from the Littlewood–Paley decomposition complement the classical orthogonal projections to guarantee uniform estimates. Further ingredients of the construction are tightness criteria in certain spaces of cadlag functions and Jakubowski’s generalization of the Skorohod-Theorem to nonmetric spaces.
