On the formation of singularities in solutions of the critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation (Q5947323)

The author considers the nonlinear Schrödinger equation \[ i\psi_{t}=-\psi -\left|\psi\right|^{4}\psi \] with initial data \(\psi|_{t=0}=\varphi+\kappa\), where \(\kappa\) is small in suitable sense. It is shown that for a certain set of initial perturbations \(\kappa\) the solution \(\psi\) blows up in finite time. An asymptotic representation of the solution is obtained.
