In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equations with repulsive inverse-power potentialsWe study the local and global well-posedness, finite time blow-up and scattering in the energy space H 1 for the equation. These results extend a recent work of Miao-Zhang-Zheng [Nonlinear Schrödinger equation with coulomb potential, arXiv:1809.06685] to a general class of inverse-power potentials and higher dimensions.
