Abstract: Consider the focusing nonlinear Schr"odinger equation with a potential with a single negative eigenvalue. It has solitons with negative small energy, which are asymptotically stable, and solitons with positive large energy, which are unstable. We classify the global dynamics into 9 sets of solutions in the phase space including both solitons, restricted by small mass, radial symmetry, and an energy bound slightly above the second lowest one of solitons. The classification includes a stable set of solutions which start near the first excited solitons, approach the ground states locally in space for large time with large radiation to the spatial infinity, and blow up in negative finite time.

Review text

This paper addresses a three-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation, with the self-attractive cubic nonlinear term and a trapping isotropic potential. It is assumed that, in the linear limit, the potential supports a single bound state (i.e., the ground state), but the full nonlinear equation also supports higher-order (excited) bound states. The particular objective of the work is to consider the evolution of an initial isotropic state whose energy slightly exceeds the eigenvalues corresponding to the first excited state. By means of a rigorous analysis, different types of evolution of such an input are identified. In particular, they include evolution back to the stable ground state, through shedding off he excessive energy in the form of radiation emitted to infinity, and, on the other side, collapse of the input towards a singularity (a manifestation of the supercritical collapse, characteristic to the three-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation).
