Abstract
We investigate the initial value problem for a defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation with exponential nonlinearity
i partial derivative(t)u + Delta u = u(e(4 pi|u|2) - 1) in R-t x R-x(2).
We identify subcritical, critical, and supercritical regimes in the energy space. We establish global well-posedness in the subcritical and critical regimes. Well-posedness fails to hold in the supercritical case.
