The initial value problems (IVP) or ar the initial-boundary value problems (IBVP) of (1) on Rn have been ex- tensively studied in the last two decades (see [8, 13, 21, 10, 19, 20] ). In particular, the blow-up properties in finite time for IVP or IBVP have caught sufficient attention (see [11, 12, 16, 14, 15]). However, much less results have been known on bounded domains in Rn or on compact manifolds (M,g), with the notable exception of the works of H.Bre´zis and T.Gallouet [5], J.Bourgain [1, 2, 3] (In [1], the case M = R2/Z2 was discussed in detail), and N.Burq, P.Ge´rard and N.Tzvetkov [6, 7]. In particular, the blow-up in finite time of Schro¨dinger equations (1) The research is partially supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China 10631020 and SRFDP20060003002. 1 2 LIMAANDLINZHAO posed on an arbitrary Riemannian manifold (M,g) is a long widely known open problem. To our knowledge, the only examples of such blow-up phenomena on Riemannian manifolds are given by the following result, attributed to Ogawa-Tsutsuni [17] if the dimension n of M equals to 1 and generalized to the case n = 2 by N.Burq, P.Ge´rard and N.Tzvetkov [6]. Theorem 1. Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n = 1 or n = 2. Assume there exist x0 M and a system of ∈ coordinates near x0 in which d g = dx2. j j=1 X Then there exist smooth solutions u C ([0,T) M) of ∞ ∈ × iu = ∆u+ u 4/nu t | | such that as t T, → u(t,x) 2 ⇀ Q 2 δ(x x0), | | k kL2(Rn) − where Q is the ground state solution on Rn of ∆Q+Q1+4/n = Q. Even though the condition of Theorem 1 that the manifold near x0 is flat is a very strong restriction, the result is also impressive. In this paper, we concentrate onthe analysis ofthe blow-up phenom- enaforIVPorBIVPoftheSchro¨dingerequationsposedonRiemannian manifolds. To be precise, the IVP and BIVP are of the following forms respectively iu = ∆u+F( u 2)u, on M, t | | (2) IVP u(0,x) = u (x), 0  ∂M = ;  ∅  iu = ∆u+F( u 2)u, on M, t | | (3) BIVP u R ∂M = 0,  | × u(0,x) = u (x),  0 where F is a real-valued smooth function on the n-dimensional Rie-  mannian manifold (M,g) and F satisfies F(s) C(1 + s(p 1)/2) for − ≤ some p > 1 on [0, ). Here ∆ is the Laplacian operator of the metric g with the sign ∆u∞= u′′ on the real line R. Noticing that (3) reduces to (2) when ∂M = , it’s convenient to establish our blow-up results ∅ in the context of (3). The local wellposedness in Hs(M) for s > n/2 to (3) with the interesting case F( u 2)u = u p 1u (p > 1) is a classical − | | | | BLOW-UP 3 consequence of energy estimates, and therefore, it’s relaxed to assume that the solution u(t) to (3) satisfies (4) u C1([0,T),L2) C([0,T),H2 H1 Lp+1), ∈ ∩ ∩ 0 ∩ where T is the maximal existence time for the solution u(t). Before stating our main results, let’s introduce some exact notations concerning Riemannian manifolds used below. Let (M,g) be a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension n with boundary ∂M or not. Wedenoteby D theLevi-Civita connection, andbyTM = T M, x M x where T M is the tangent space at x M. It’s well known∈that the x ∈ S smooth sections of TM are just vector fields.

For complex valued vectors X + iX , 1 2 Y +iY , where X , X , Y , Y are real, we define 1 2 1 2 1 2 g(X +iX ,Y +iY ) 1 2 1 2 = g(X ,X )+ig(X ,Y )+ig(X ,Y )+g(Y ,Y ). 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 It’s easy to see that g defined in such a way is bilinear in the field C and accordingly f = f +i f, ∆f = ∆ f +i∆ f. ∇ ∇ℜ ∇ℑ ℜ ℑ When M has a nonempty boundary ∂M, we denote by v the outer unit normal vector along ∂M.

This paper is organized as follows. In section 2, we establish some new invariant quantities for the Schro¨dinger equations on general Riemannian manifolds, which generalize the corresponding classical results on Rn. In section 3, we construct blow-up solutions on the unit sphere S2. In section 4, we establish the blow-up results on a class of noncompact manifolds. We discuss the blow-up properties on n-dim manifolds with n 3 in section 5. ≥ 2. Preliminary lemma The following lemma is a generalization of the identities obtained by Glassey [11] (see also [12]). We define u G(u) = F(s)ds. Z0 Lemma 4. Suppose that (M,g) is a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension n with boundary ∂M or not, and v is the outer unit normal vector along ∂M.

Blow-up phenomena on S2 To investigate the blow-up nature of the solution u, one method is to observe the long time behavior of J(t) := ρ u 2. If there exists ρ 0 | | ≥ such that J(t) becomes negative after some finite time T due to the R conservation of the L2 norm and the energy E , then u must blow up 0 beforethetime T. It’sclassical thatρ(x) = x 2 when M = Rd. But for | | an arbitrary manifold, the sharp ρ adopted to the blow-up properties is unknown explicitly. It seems that ∆ x 2 = 2n is a nice property for us to use (11) on M = Rn. For nonco|m|pact manifolds and compact manifolds with boundary, it’s possible to find ρ such that ∆ρ = const. 8 LIMAANDLINZHAO We put this idea in practice on the half sphere S2 := S2 x1 0 + ∩ { ≥ } and the hyperbolic space M = H2( 1).

The method above can’t be applied to the whole sphere + S2 or some other compact manifolds because of the nonexistence of sub- harmonic functions on compact manifolds. But this result allows us to construct blow-up solutions for the Schro¨dinger equations posed on S2. See the proof of Theorem 2. Remark 8.
