TL;DR
This work proves soliton resolution for the Calogero--Moser derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (CM-DNLS) without symmetry or size restrictions, addressing both finite-time blow-up and global dynamics. Central to the approach is an energy bubbling mechanism that couples the nonnegative energy structure with mass conservation to extract a finite multi-soliton configuration while controlling outer radiation, yielding a continuous-in-time decomposition into solitons plus a vanishing radiation profile. Crucially, the analysis does not rely on integrability, instead exploiting a gauged, self-dual framework and a no-bubble-tree property to handle nonradial, multi-soliton dynamics. The results advance understanding of soliton resolution for Schrödinger-type equations and suggest avenues for applying energy-based bubbling methods to non-integrable models and related dispersive systems.
Abstract
We consider soliton resolution for the Calogero--Moser derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (CM-DNLS). A rigorous PDE analysis of (CM-DNLS) was recently initiated by Gérard and Lenzmann, who demonstrated its Lax pair structure. Additionally, (CM-DNLS) exhibits several symmetries, such as mass-criticality with pseudo-conformal symmetry and a self-dual Hamiltonian. Despite its integrability, finite-time blow-up solutions have been constructed. The purpose of this paper is to establish soliton resolution for both finite-time blow-up solutions and global solutions in a fully general setting, \emph{without imposing radial symmetry or size constraints}. To our knowledge, this is the first non-integrable proof of full soliton resolution for Schrödinger-type equations. A key aspect of our proof is the control of the energy of the outer radiation after extracting a soliton, referred to as the \emph{energy bubbling} estimate. This benefits from two levels of convervation laws, mass and energy, and self-duality. This approach allows us to directly prove continuous-in-time soliton resolution, bypassing time-sequential soliton resolution. Importantly, our proof does not rely on the integrability of the equation, potentially offering insights applicable to other non-integrable models.
