TL;DR
This work constructs a new class of solutions to the 1D cubic NLS with initial data given by a sum of Dirac masses at the critical Fourier-Lebesgue regularity $\mathcal{F}(L^\infty)$ and in $\dot H^s$ for $s<-\tfrac12$. The authors develop a scattering framework around a multi-Dirac-mass profile by applying a Wick renormalization and a pseudo-conformal transform, then perform a detailed fixed-point analysis of a Duhamel-type integral around a leading term $v_1$, with an oscillatory-integral-driven decomposition into terms $I(v)$ and $J_\ast$. They prove the existence and decay of the perturbation $v-v_1$ in a weighted Sobolev space, and, after reversing the transform, establish precise convergence rates for the original solution $u$ toward the Dirac-mass profile $u_{\{\alpha_j\}}$, including refined $J^k$-weighted asymptotics. The approach avoids reliance on Strichartz estimates, instead leveraging sharp oscillatory integral estimates to control slowest-decaying nonlinear interactions, yielding a robust stability/line-scattering result in the critical setting.
Abstract
The aim of this article is to prove the existence of a new class of solutions of 1D cubic NLS with an initial data related to a sum of Dirac masses, of critical regularity $F(L^\infty)$, and belonging to $\dot H^s$ for any $s <-1/2$. This problem is motivated by the lack of result for critical regularity initial condition. Our result is based on a scattering approach, after performing a pseudo-conformal transformation, and on fine estimations of oscillatory integrals.
