Abstract

We consider solutions u(t)u(t) to the 3d NLS equation itu+Δu+u2u=0i\partial_t u + \Delta u + |u|^2u=0 such that xu(t)L2=\|xu(t)\|_{L^2} = \infty and u(t)u(t) is nonradial. Denoting by M[u]M[u] and E[u]E[u], the mass and energy, respectively, of a solution uu, and by Q(x)Q(x) the ground state solution to Q+ΔQ+Q2Q=0-Q+\Delta Q+|Q|^2Q=0, we prove the following: if M[u]E[u]<M[Q]E[Q]M[u]E[u]<M[Q]E[Q] and u0L2u0L2>QL2QL2\|u_0\|_{L^2}\|\nabla u_0\|_{L^2}>\|Q\|_{L^2}\|\nabla Q\|_{L^2}, then either u(t)u(t) blows-up in finite positive time or u(t)u(t) exists globally for all positive time and there exists a sequence of times tn+t_n\to +\infty such that u(tn)L2\|\nabla u(t_n)\|_{L^2} \to \infty. Similar statements hold for negative time.
