Both Mass conservation for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and Energy conservation for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation hold throughout the maximal lifespan. Since , 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 norm is invariant and the gradient norm is multiplied by . Therefore chooseFinite-time blowup and the Blowup alternative for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation imply , so .
The energy has scaling degree two:where the second equality uses Energy conservation for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

Interpolate between and and then use the preceding Sobolev embedding theorem:Mass conservation for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation fixes , while Energy conservation for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and implySince , rearrangement givesuniformly on the maximal lifespan.
