Abstract: In this paper we prove the existence of an exponentially localized stationary solution for a two-dimensional cubic Dirac equation. It appears as an effective equation in the description of nonlinear waves for some Condensed Matter (Bose-Einstein condensates) and Nonlinear Optics (optical fibers) systems. The nonlinearity is of Kerr-type, that is of the form |$psi$| 2 $psi$ and thus not Lorenz-invariant. We solve compactness issues related to the critical Sobolev embedding H 1 2 (R 2 , C 2) $ightarrow$ L 4 (R 2 , C 4) thanks to a particular radial ansatz. Our proof is then based on elementary dynamical systems arguments. Contents

Review text

The author studies the two dimensional cubic Schrödinger/ Gross-Pitaevskii equation \[ i\partial_t \Psi = (-\Delta +V) \Psi + g |\Psi|^2 \Psi \] where \(g=-1\) in the case considered here. Stationary solutions of the form \(\Psi (x,t)=e^{-i\omega t} \psi(x)\) which are smooth and localized are shown to exist with exponential decay at infinity. The equation is turned into a dynamical system by making a particular ansatz. This ansatz allows for Sobolev compactness issues to be addressed. A shooting method is then used to solve the resulting system.
