1 Introduction
In this paper, we consider the following Cauchy problem:
[TABLE]
Here , , and are some real-valued functions, and for , and there exists positive constant such that
[TABLE]
(1.1) often appears in condensed matter theory, in plasma physics and fluid mechanics and in the theory of Heisenberg ferromagnet and magnons, see [1, 14, 23, 24]. It can be used to illustrate many physical phenomena. For example, if , it is called the superfluid film equation in plasma physics or the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation([21, 22]); If , it models the self-channelling of a high-power ultra short laser in matter while if , it illustrates the physical phenomenon in dissipative quantum mechanics, see [3, 4, 16, 26]. The local well-posedness of the solution to (1.1) has been established by many authors, see [6, 18, 25] and the references therein. In convenience, we call (1.1) with the term as (1.1A) and (1.1) with the term as (1.1B). An interesting topic on (1.1) is the global existence and blowup phenomena. We state the precise definition of global existence and finite time blowup of solutions.
Definition 1. Let be the solution of (1.1). We say that is global existence if the maximum existence interval of for is . Otherwise, we say that will blow up in finite time if there exists a time such that
[TABLE]
About the topics on the global existence and blowup phenomena of the classical semilinear Schrödinger equation, Glassey studied the following Cauchy problem
[TABLE]
in his famous paper [13]. He showed that: If there exists a constant such that for all , where , then the solution will blow up in finite time for certain initial . If , (1.4) is in the energy critical case. We also can refer to [2, 5, 8, 17, 18, 19, 20, 29] and the references therein. However, there are very few results on the global existence and blowup phenomena of qusilinear Schrödinger equations, we can refer to [4, 15, 28].
This paper parallels to [28]. Recently, in [28], we studied the following Cauchy problem
[TABLE]
and provided sufficient conditions on the blowup in finite time and global existence of the solution to (1.5) in the case of
[TABLE]
Naturally, we are interested in the following question: What’s about conditions on the blowup and global existence of the solution to (1.5) in the critical case of
[TABLE]
This is the first reason why we consider (1.1) which satisfies (1.7). Other reasons are as follows: We established pseudoconformal conservation law for the solution (1.5) in [28], which is essential for the study of the asymptotic behavior for the solution. Naturally, we hope to get pseudoconformal conservation law for the solution of (1.1). It is well known that Morawetz estimate is an important tool to construct scattering operator on the energy space. A deeper question is: What is the relationship between pseudoconformal conservation law and Morawetz estimate? To solve this question, we will establish Morawetz estimate for the solution of (1.1) based on pseudoconformal conservation law. Meanwhile, basing on pseudoconformal conservation law, we give some spacetime bound estimates for the global solution of (1.1A), which reveals the relationship between spacetime bound and pseudoconformal conservation law. These are our ideas which generated very recently, we also can refer to our paper [27].
There are two main goals of this paper: One is to establish conditions on blowup and global existence of the solution to (1.1), another is to give Morawetz estimates and spacetime bounds for the global solution of (1.1A) based on pseudoconformal conservation law. Before we state our results, we define the mass and energy of (1.1) as follows.
(i) Mass:
[TABLE]
(ii) Energy :
[TABLE]
We will prove mass and energy conservation laws in Section 2.

The organization of this paper is as follows. In Section 2, we will prove mass and energy conservation laws and some equalities. In Section 3, we will prove Theorem 1, obtain sufficient conditions on global existence of the solution to (1.1A) and those on the blowup of the solution to (1.1B). In Section 4, we establish pseudoconformal conservation law and Morawetz estimates for the solution of (1.1A). In Section 5, we give spacetime bound estimates for the solution of (1.1A).
2 Preliminaries
In the sequels, we will use , , and so on, to denote different constants, the values of them may vary occurrence to occurrence.

3 The proof of Theorem 1
In this section, we provide the sufficient conditions on the global existence of the solution to (1.1A) and those on the blowup of the solution to (1.1B).
The proof of Theorem 1: (A). The global existence of the solution to (1.1A).
Case (a). By mass and energy conservation laws, if (1.10) holds, then
[TABLE]
which implies that
[TABLE]
Case (b). If (1.11) holds, then

we have . Then
[TABLE]
which implies that the maximum existence interval of time for is finite, and will blow up before .
We give a corollary of Theorem 1 as follows.
Corollary 3.1. 1. Let be the solution of (1.1A*) with . Suppose that there exist , , and such that*
[TABLE]
for some nonnegative constants , , , , and . Then the solution of (1.1A) is global existence for any initial data satisfying and .
2. Let be the solution of (1.1B*) with , (1.2) holds, and there exist and such that*

[TABLE]
Taking small enough, we can get
[TABLE]
(1.14) is satisfied and the solution of (1.1B) will blow up in finite time for the initial data satisfying , , and
[TABLE]
Corollary 3.1 is proved.
We would like to give some examples to illustrate the results of Theorem 1. To see the difference between (1.1A) and (1.1B), we chose the same and .

For (1.1B), we can take . If , we can take , then
[TABLE]
If , , , then the solution of (1.1B) will blow up in finite time.
Example 3.3. Consider the following problem
[TABLE]
(3.13) is the special case of (1.1) with , and . If and , then (1.11) is satisfied and the solution of (3.13) is global existence for initial data satisfying and .
As a byproduct of this example, we know that (3.5) and (3.6) imply (1.11). However, there exist functions and such that (1.11) holds yet (3.5) and (3.6) are not satisfied.

5 Spacetime bound estimates based on pseudoconformal conservation law
In this section, we give the proof of Theorem 4.

[TABLE]
Here if , if ; if , if . And
[TABLE]
To illustrate our results, we give some examples of and below.
Example 5.1. If or , , then the solution of (1.1A) is global existence. Morawetz estimates and space bounds for the solution can be established, for example,
[TABLE]
or
[TABLE]
Example 5.2. If , , , , then the solution of (1.1A) is global existence. Especially, if , then (1.19) and (1.20) are satisfied. We can get Morawetz estimates and space bounds for the solution if initial data satisfies (1.18), for example,

Remark 5.1. Under the assumption on in (1.2), the following model is the special case of (1.1) with
[TABLE]
If , then (1.1) becomes
[TABLE]
Naturally, the corresponding results on (1.1) hold in the two special cases.
In the last part of this section, we would like to compare the results on (1.1) to those on (1.5).
Remark 5.2. (1). Since , the results about the conditions on the global existence of the solution to (1.1A) and blowup of (1.1B) in this paper are differ from those on (1.5) in [28], they cannot be covered each other.
(2). However, mass, energy and the pseudoconformal conservation laws for the global solution of (1.5) are similar to these for the global solution of (1.1A). If we look (1.5) as the special case of (1.1) with , these conservation laws for (1.1A) can cover those for (1.5). Although we didn’t establish Morawetz estimates and spacetime bounds for the global solution of (1.5) in [28]), we can prove the corresponding Morawetz estimates and spacetime bounds for the global solution of (1.5) by letting in these for (1.1) under the same assumptions on , and .
