Abstract

We consider the focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in H1(R3)H^1(\mathbb{R}^3), \begin{equation} i\partial_t u + \Delta u + |x|^{-b}|u|^{2}u=0,{equation} where 0<b<120 < b <\tfrac{1}{2}. Previous works have established a blowup/scattering dichotomy below a mass-energy threshold determined by the ground state solution QQ. In this work, we study solutions exactly at this mass-energy threshold. In addition to the ground state solution, we prove the existence of solutions Q±Q^\pm, which approach the standing wave in the positive time direction, but either blow up or scatter in the negative time direction. Using these particular solutions, we classify all possible behaviors for threshold solutions. In particular, the solution either behaves as in the sub-threshold case, or it agrees with eitQe^{it}Q, Q+Q^+, or QQ^- up to the symmetries of the equation.
