Abstract

In this paper, we characterize a family of solitary waves for NLS with derivative (DNLS) by the structue analysis and the variational argument. Since (DNLS) doesn't enjoy the Galilean invariance any more, the structure analysis here is closely related with the nontrivial momentum and shows the equivalence of nontrivial solutions between the quasilinear and the semilinear equations. Firstly, for the subcritical parameters 4ω>c24\omega>c^2 and the critical parameters 4ω=c2,c>04\omega=c^2, c>0, we show the existence and uniqueness of the solitary waves for (DNLS), up to the phase rotation and spatial translation symmetries. Secondly, for the critical parameters 4ω=c2,c04\omega=c^2, c\leq 0 and the supercritical parameters 4ω<c24\omega<c^2, there is no nontrivial solitary wave for (DNLS). At last, we make use of the invariant sets, which is related to the variational characterization of the solitary wave, to obtain the global existence of solution for (DNLS) with initial data in the invariant set Kω,c+H1(R)\mathcal{K}^+_{\omega,c}\subseteq H^1(\R), with 4ω=c2,c>04\omega=c^2, c>0 or 4ω>c24\omega>c^2. On one hand, different with the scattering result for the L2L^2-critical NLS in \cite{Dod:NLS_sct}, the scattering result of (DNLS) doesn't hold for initial data in Kω,c+\mathcal{K}^+_{\omega,c} because of the existence of infinity many small solitary/traveling waves in Kω,c+,\mathcal{K}^+_{\omega,c}, with 4ω=c2,c>04\omega=c^2, c>0 or 4ω>c24\omega>c^2. On the other hand, our global result improves the global result in \cite{Wu-DNLS, Wu-DNLS2} (see Corollary \ref{cor:gwp}).
