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 estimate
Thus 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 scaling
the norm is invariant and the gradient norm is multiplied by . Therefore choose
Finite-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 imply
Since , rearrangement gives
uniformly on the maximal lifespan.
