Abstract: We consider the NLS system of the third-harmonic generation, which was introduced by Sammut. Our interest is in solitary wave solutions and their stability properties. The recent work of Oliveira and Pastor, discussed global well-posedness vs. finite time blow-up, as well as other aspects of the dynamics. These authors have also constructed solitary wave solutions, via the method of mountain pass/Nehari manifold, in an appropriate range of parameters. Specifically, the waves exist only in spatial dimensions $n=1,2,3$. They have also established some stability/instability results for these waves. In this work, we systematically build and study solitary waves for this important model. We construct the waves in the largest possible parameter space, and we provide a complete classification of their stability. In dimension one, we show stability, whereas, in $n=2,3$, they are generally spectrally unstable, except for a small region, where they do enjoy an extra pseudo-conformal symmetry. Finally, we discuss instability by a blow-up. In the case $n=3$, and for a more restrictive set of parameters, we use virial identities methods to derive the strong instability, in the spirit of Ohta's approach. In $n=2$, the virial identities reduce matters, via conservation of mass and energy, to the initial data. Our conclusions mirror closely the well-known results for the scalar cubic focusing NLS, while the proofs are much more involved.
