contents We consider the Cauchy problem for derivative fractional Schrödinger equations (fNLS) on the torus $\mathbb T$. Recently, the second and third authors established a necessary and sufficient condition on the nonlinearity for well-posedness of semi-linear Schrödinger equations on $\mathbb T$. In this paper, we extend this result to derivative fNLS. More precisely, we prove that the necessary and sufficient condition on the nonlinearity is the same as that for semi-linear Schrödinger equations. However, since we can not employ a gauge transformation for derivative fNLS, we use the modified energy method to prove well-posedness. We need to inductively construct correction terms for the modified energy when the fractional Laplacian is of order between $1$ and $\frac 32$. For the ill-posedness, we prove the non-existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem by exploiting a Cauchy-Riemann-type operator that appears in nonlinear interactions.
