Pathological set of initial data for scaling-supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equations

The purpose of this work is to evidence a pathological set of initial data for which the regularized solutions by convolution experience a norm-inflation mechanism, in arbitrarily short time. The result is in the spirit of the construction from Sun and Tzvetkov, where the pathological set contains superposition of profiles that concentrate at different points. Thanks to finite propagation speed of the wave equation, and given a certain time, at most one profile exhibits significant growth. However, for Schrödinger-type equations, we cannot preclude the profiles from interacting between each other. Instead, we propose a method that exploits the regularizing effect of the approximate identity which, at a given scale, rules out the norm inflation of the profiles that are concentrated at smaller scales.
