We are going to study the mathematical theory of the nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) as follows.

Well-posedness issue of (NLS)
- Local & Global well-posedness, by use of Strichartz estimates & Sobolev embedding & conservation laws

Long time behaviour of the solutions of (NLS)
- Blowup & Scattering, by use of Virial & Morawetz idenities

Solitary waves of (NLS)
- Orbital stability, by use of variational description & concentration-compactness

Conserved energies for one dimensional cubic (NLS)
- Conserved energies, by use of invariant transmission coefficient

In the beginning of the lecture course there will be an introduction part, where the basic concepts (such as dispersion, symmetries, solitons) and the motivations will be clarified.



Prerequisites:
Basic concepts from functional analysis, e.g. Lebesgue spaces, Sobolev spaces, Fourier transform, Hölder's inequality, Young's inequality, convolution.
