Abstract

We consider the Gross–Pitaevskii equation on $\mathbb{R}^4$ and the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on $\mathbb{R}^3$ with non-vanishing boundary conditions at spatial infinity. By viewing these equations as perturbations to the energy-critical NLS, we prove that they are globally well-posed in their energy spaces. In particular, we prove unconditional uniqueness in the energy spaces for these equations.
