The 3D nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a constant magnetic field revisited

Abstract

In this paper, we revisit the Cauchy problem for the three dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a constant magnetic field. We first establish sufficient conditions that ensure the existence of global in time and finite time blow-up solutions. In particular, we derive sharp thresholds for global existence versus blow-up for the equation with mass-critical and mass-supercritical nonlinearities. We next prove the existence and orbital stability of normalized standing waves which extend the previous known results to the mass-critical and mass-supercritical cases. To show the existence of normalized solitary waves, we present a new approach that avoids the celebrated concentration-compactness principle. Finally, we study the existence and strong instability of ground state standing waves which greatly improve the previous literature.
