Well-posedness of the three-dimensional NLS equation with sphere-concentrated nonlinearity

We discuss strong local and global well-posedness for the three-dimensional NLS equation with nonlinearity concentrated on S 2 . Precisely, local well-posedness is proved for any C 2 power-nonlinearity, while global well-posedness is obtained either for small data or in the defocusing case under some growth assumptions. With respect to point-concentrated NLS models, widely studied in the literature, here the dimension of the support of the nonlinearity does not allow a direct extension of the known techniques and calls for new ideas.
