Rational Normal Forms and Stability of Small Solutions to Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

We consider general classes of nonlinear Schrödinger equations on the circle with nontrivial cubic part and without external parameters. We construct a new type of normal forms, namely rational normal forms, on open sets surrounding the origin in high Sobolev regularity. With this new tool we prove that, given a large constant M and a sufficiently small parameter \(\varepsilon \), for generic initial data of size \(\varepsilon \), the flow is conjugated to an integrable flow up to an arbitrary small remainder of order \(\varepsilon ^{M+1}\). This implies that for such initial data u(0) we control the Sobolev norm of the solution u(t) for time of order \(\varepsilon ^{-M}\). Furthermore this property is locally stable: if v(0) is sufficiently close to u(0) (of order \(\varepsilon ^{3/2}\)) then the solution v(t) is also controled for time of order \(\varepsilon ^{-M}\).
