Lossless Strichartz estimates on the square torus over short time intervals

TL;DR
This work proves lossless Strichartz estimates at the critical exponent $q_c = \frac{2(n+1)}{n-1}$ for the Schrödinger equation on the square torus with frequency-localized data on short time windows. The authors develop a multiscale induction on frequency cubes, employing a height-splitting strategy, a broad–narrow analysis, and sharp kernel bounds together with bilinear restriction estimates for the paraboloid to control interactions across scales. They obtain a uniform bound $\|e^{-it\Delta_{\mathbb{T}^{n-1}}}\beta(D_x/\lambda)f\|_{L^{q_c}(\mathbb{T}^{n-1} \times [0, 1/(\lambda \delta)])} \lesssim_{\varepsilon} \|f\|_{2}$ for $\delta \geq \lambda^{-1/(n+1)+\varepsilon}$, extending the regime of lossless control to higher dimensions and improving previous short-time results. The approach clarifies the dispersive behavior on the torus over short intervals and has potential implications for nonlinear Schrödinger analysis on compact manifolds by providing robust, scale-informed estimates.
Abstract
We prove lossless Strichartz estimates at the critical exponent $q_c = \frac{2(n+1)}{n-1}$ on the square torus for the Schrödinger equation with frequency localized initial data on small time windows with length depending on the frequency parameter $λ\gg 1$.
