Minimal mass blow-up solutions for the critical NLS with inverse-square potential
We study minimal mass blow-up solutions of the focusing critical
nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with inverse-square potential, with
and . We first prove a sharp global well-posedness
result: all solutions with a mass (i.e. norm) strictly below that
of the ground states are global. Note that, unlike the equation in free space,
we do not know if the ground state is unique in the presence of the
inverse-square potential. Nevertheless, all ground states have the same,
minimal, mass. We then construct and classify finite time blow-up solutions at
the minimal mass threshold. Up to the symmetries of the equation, every such
solution is a pseudo-conformal transformation of a ground state solution.Comment: Journal version, references added, minor changes including the
