It admits an eight-dimensional manifold of periodic solutions called solitons e^{i(\\Gamma + vx - t|v|^2 + \\alpha^2 t)} \\phi(x-2tv-D, \\alpha), where \\phi(x, \\alpha) is a positive ground state solution of the semilinear elliptic equation -\\Delta \\phi + \\alpha^2\\phi = \\phi^3. We prove that in the neighborhood of the soliton manifold there exists a H^{1/2} real analytic manifold N of asymptotically stable solutions of the Schroedinger equation, meaning they are the sum of a moving soliton and a dispersive term. Furthermore, a solution starting on N remains on N for all positive time and for some finite negative time and N can be identified as the centre-stable manifold for this equation. The proof is based on the method of modulation, introduced by Soffer and Weinstein and adapted by Schlag to the L^2-supercritical case. Novel elements include a different linearization and new Strichartz-type estimates for the linear Schroedinger equation. The main result depends on a spectral assumption concerning the absence of embedded eigenvalues. We also establish several new estimates for solutions of the time-dependent and time-independent linear Schroedinger equation, which hold under sharper or more general conditions than previously known. Several of these estimates are based on a new approach that makes use of Wiener's Theorem in the context of function spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-08-17T07:05:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q55", "35Q51" ], "keywords": [ "cubic focusing schroedinger equation", "critical centre-stable manifold", "dimensions", "time-independent linear schroedinger equation", "real analytic manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0902.1643B" } } }
