The focusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger system with power-type growth nonlinearities in the radial case

Abstract

This work is concerned with a coupled system of focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations involving general power-type nonlinearities in the energy-critical setting for dimensions $3\le d\le 5$ in the radial setting. Our aim is to demonstrate the scattering versus blow-up dichotomy in the radial case. To achieve this, we first prove the existence of ground state solutions using the concentration-compactness method combined with variational techniques. We then establish finite-time blow-up through a convexity argument and prove scattering by applying the concentration-compactness and rigidity method.
