We consider the global wellposedness problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation
$i\partial_t u = [-\tfrac{1}{2} Δ + V(x)] u ± |u|^{4/(d-2)} u, \ u(0)∈ Σ(\mathbf{R}^d),$
where
$Σ$
 is the weighted Sobolev space
$\dot{H}^1 \cap |x|^{-1} L^2$
. The case
$V(x) = \tfrac{1}{2}|x|^2$
 was recently treated by the author. This note generalizes the results to a class of "approximately quadratic" potentials.
We closely follow the previous concentration compactness arguments for the harmonic oscillator. A key technical difference is that in the absence of a concrete formula for the linear propagator, we apply more general tools from microlocal analysis, including a Fourier integral parametrix of Fujiwara.
Keywords: Energy-critical, profile decompositions, Schrödinger operators.
