On the growth of Sobolev norms for NLS on 2d and 3d manifolds

Using suitable modified energies we study higher order Sobolev norms' growth in time for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) on a generic $2d$ or $3d$ compact manifold. In $2d$ we extend earlier results that dealt only with cubic nonlinearities, and get polynomial in time bounds for any higher order nonlinearities. In $3d$, we prove that solutions to the cubic NLS grow at most exponentially, while for sub-cubic NLS we get polynomial bounds on the growth of the $H^2$-norm.
