Abstract: We study the problem of unconditional uniqueness of solutions to the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS). We introduce a new strategy to approach this problem on bounded domains, in particular on rectangular tori. It is a known fact that solutions to the cubic NLS give rise to solutions of the Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) hierarchy, which is an infinite-dimensional system of linear equations. By using the uniqueness analysis of the GP hierarchy, we obtain new unconditional uniqueness results for the cubic NLS on rectangular tori, which cover the full scaling-subcritical regime in high dimensions. In fact, we prove a more general result which is conditional on the domain. In addition, we observe that well-posedness of the cubic NLS in Fourier–Lebesgue spaces implies unconditional uniqueness.
