Abstract: We study the existence of standing waves, of prescribed L2-norm (the mass), for the nonlinear Schr"{o}dinger equation with mixed power nonlinearities i partial_t phi + Delta phi + mu phi |phi|^{q-2} + phi |phi|^{2^* - 2} = 0, quad (t, x) in R imes R^N, where Ngeq3, phi:RimesRNoC, mu>0, 2<q<2+4/N and 2∗=2N/(N−2) is the critical Sobolev exponent. It was already proved that, for small mass, ground states exist and correspond to local minima of the associated Energy functional. It was also established that despite the nonlinearity is Sobolev critical, the set of ground states is orbitally stable. Here we prove that, when Ngeq4, there also exist standing waves which are not ground states and are located at a mountain-pass level of the Energy functional. These solutions are unstable by blow-up in finite time. Our study is motivated by a question raised by N. Soave.
