    This paper concerns the existence and blow up results for the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with isotropic harmonic potential modeling the Bose-Einstein condensation. The local problem is treated as in the case with no potential. For the global problem an evolution law, which is the analogue of the pseudo-conformal conservation law for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, is established. With this law, the author gives wave collapse criteria, as well as an upper bound for the blow up time. A lower time for the breaking time is also given.
