A new proof of long range scattering for critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We present a new proof of global existence and long range scattering, from small initial data, for the one-dimensional cubic gauge invariant nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and for Hartree equations in dimension $n \geq 2$. The proof relies on an analysis in Fourier space, related to the recent works of Germain, Masmoudi and Shatah on space-time resonances. An interesting feature of our approach is that we are able to identify the long range phase correction term through a very natural stationary phase argument.
