Both Mass conservation for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and Energy conservation for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation hold throughout the maximal lifespan. Since $\Vert u_0{\Vert }_2<\Vert Q{\Vert }_2$, the Sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality gives the uniform estimateThus the gradient norm stays bounded. The Blowup alternative for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation rules out a finite endpoint of the lifespan in either time direction, so the solution is global.

Under the mass-critical spatial scalingthe $L^2$ norm is invariant and the gradient norm is multiplied by ${\lambda }_n$. Therefore chooseFinite-time blowup and the Blowup alternative for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation imply $\Vert \nabla u(t_n){\Vert }_2\to \infty$, so ${\lambda }_n\to 0$.

The energy has scaling degree two:where the second equality uses Energy conservation for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

By the Blowup alternative for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, choose $t_n\uparrow T$ with $\Vert \nabla u(t_n){\Vert }_2\to \infty$, and setThe mass-critical scaling gives

The sequence is bounded and radial in $H^1$, so part 4 yields, after extraction, weak $H^1$ and strong $L^4$ convergence to some $v$. The energy identity gives $\Vert v_n{\Vert }_4^4\to 2\Vert \nabla Q{\Vert }_2^2$. The Sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality and weak lower semicontinuity force equality in every limiting norm inequality. Hence $v_n\to v$ strongly in $H^1$, and the variational characterization identifiesfor some $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$; radiality removes translations and the gradient normalization fixes the scale.

If $\Vert u_0{\Vert }_2<\Vert Q{\Vert }_2$, the sharp variational estimate and the conservation laws giveThus the $H^1$ norm remains bounded on every finite time interval. The Blowup alternative for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation then prevents a finite endpoint of the maximal lifespan, so $T=\infty$.
