Mass-constrained ground states of the stationary NLSE on periodic metric graphs
Abstract
We investigate the existence of ground states with fixed mass for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a pure power nonlinearity on periodic metric graphs. Within a variational framework, both the $L^2$-subcritical and critical regimes are studied. In the former case, we establish the existence of global minimizers of the NLS energy for every mass and every periodic graph. In the critical regime, a complete topological characterization is derived, providing conditions which allow or prevent ground states of a certain mass from existing. Besides, a rigorous notion of periodic graph is introduced and discussed.
