NLS with mass-subcritical combined nonlinearities: small mass $L^2$-scattering

We prove small data scattering in the mass-subcritical regime for the NLS equation with double nonlinearities, where a focusing leading term is perturbed by a lower order defocusing nonlinear term. Our proof relies on the pseudo-conformal transformation in conjunction with a general variational argument used to obtain the positivity of certain modified energies. Moreover, the smallness assumption is only on the mass of the initial data, and not on the whole $\Sigma$-norm.
