Description

We establish global well-posedness and scattering for solutions to the mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation $iu_t + Δu = \pm |u|^{4/d} u$ for large spherically symmetric L^2_x(R^d) initial data in dimensions $d\geq 3$. In the focusing case we require that the mass is strictly less than that of the ground state. As a consequence, we obtain that in the focusing case, any spherically symmetric blowup solution must concentrate at least the mass of the ground state at the blowup time.
