Abstract

We consider the following Scr\"odinger system {itu+Δu+(u2+βv2)u=0,itv+Δv+(v2+βu2)v=0,\begin{cases}\displaystyle i\partial_t u + \Delta u +(|u|^2+\beta |v|^2) u= 0, \\ \displaystyle i\partial_t v + \Delta v +(|v|^2+\beta |u|^2) v = 0,\end{cases} with initial data (u0,v0)H1(R3)×H1(R3)(u_0,v_0) \in H^1(\mathbb{R} ^3)\times H^1(\mathbb{R}^3) at the so-called \textit{mass-energy threshold}, i.e., such that %ME(u0,v0)=1\mathcal{ME}(u_0,v_0) = 1. M(u0,v0)E(u0,v0)=M(ϕ,ψ)E(ϕ,ψ)M(u_0,v_0)E(u_0,v_0) = M(\phi,\psi)E(\phi,\psi), where (ϕ,ψ)(\phi,\psi) is a ground state. For a suitable range of values of β>0\beta>0, we show the existence of special solutions to this system, which converge to a standing wave solution in one time direction, and either blows up or scatters in the opposite direction. Moreover, we classify general solutions at the ground state, showing a rigidity result regarding the possible long-time behaviors that might occur. Our results do not rely on the uniqueness of the corresponding ground state: indeed, the main results hold even in the case where the Weinstein functional is known to have more than one optimizer.
