Stability in the log-modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation in dimension one

In the one-dimensional log-modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation, there are finitely many normalised standing-waves, up to space translation and phase multiplication. In the defocusing case, there is exactly one normalised standing-wave having a prescribed mass and least energy. Both results are obtained by exploiting properties of the mass function: the analyticity in the focusing case, and the monotonicity in the defocusing case.

Index theory for non-compact quantum graphs

We develop an index theory for variational problems on noncompact quantum graphs. The main results are a spectral flow formula, relating the net change of eigenvalues to the Maslov index of boundary data, and a Morse index theorem, equating the negative directions of the Lagrangian action with the total multiplicity of conjugate instants along the edges. These results extend classical tools in global analysis and symplectic geometry to graph based models, with applications to nonlinear wave equations such as the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. The spectral flow formula is proved by constructing a Lagrangian intersection theory in the Gelfand-Robbin quotients of the second variation of the action. This approach also recovers, in a unified way, the known formulas for heteroclinic, halfclinic, homoclinic, and bounded orbits of (non)autonomous Lagrangian systems.

Degeneracy and multiplicity of standing-waves of the one-dimensional non-linear Schrödinger equation for a class of algebraic non-linearities

We study the existence, the stability and the non-degeneracy of normalized standing-waves solutions to a one dimensional non-linear Schrödinger equation. The non-linearity belongs to a class of algebraic functions appropriately defined. We can show that for some of these non-linearities one can observe the existence of degenerate minima, and the multiplicity of positive, radially symmetric minima having the same mass and the same energy. We also prove the stability of the ground-state and the stability of normalized standing-waves whose profile is a minimum of the energy constrained to the mass.

Energy estimated frequencies of standing-wave solutions to non-linear Klein-Gordon systems in higher dimension

In this work a system of non-linear elliptic equations is considered, where the non-linear term is the sum of a quadratic form and a Sobolev sub-critical term. An extra assumption is introduced on the sub-critical term, which is minimal among the ones which guarantee the existence of standing-waves obtained by estimating frequencies of minimizing sequences with the energy functional.

Multiple normalized standing-waves solutions to the scalar non-linear Klein-Gordon equation with two competing powers

In this work we prove the existence of standing-wave solutions to the scalar non-linear Klein-Gordon equation in dimension one and the stability of the ground-state, the set which contains all the minima of the energy constrained to the manifold of the states sharing a fixed charge. For non-linearities which are combinations of two competing powers we prove that standing-waves in the ground-state are orbitally stable. We also show the existence of a degenerate minimum and the existence of two positive and radially symmetric minima having the same charge.

On the connected components of the conjugacy class of projectors on $ \ell_p\oplus\ell_q $

We characterize the projectors $ P $ on a Banach space $ E $ having the property of being connected to all the others projectors obtained as a conjugation of $ P $. Using this characterization we show an example of Banach space where the conjugacy class of a projector splits into several path-connected components, and describe the conjugacy classes of projectors onto subspaces of $ \ell_p\oplus\ell_q $ with $ p\neq q $.

Uniqueness of standing-waves for a non-linear Schrödinger equation with three pure-power combinations in dimension one

We show that symmetric and positive profiles of ground-state standing-wave of the non-linear Schrödinger equation are non-degenerate and unique up to a translation of the argument and multiplication by complex numbers in the unit sphere. The non-linear term is a combination of two or three pure-powers. The class of non-linearities satisfying the mentioned properties can be extended beyond two or three power combinations. Specifically, it is sufficient that an Euler differential inequality is satisfied and that a certain auxiliary function is such that the first local maximum is also an absolute maximum.

Orbital stability and uniqueness of the ground state for NLS in dimension one

We prove that standing-waves solutions to the non-linear Schrödinger equation in dimension one whose profiles can be obtained as minima of the energy over the mass, are orbitally stable and non-degenerate, provided the non-linear term $ G $ satisfies a Euler differential inequality. When the non-linear term $ G $ is a combined pure power-type, then there is only one positive, symmetric minimum of prescribed mass.

Ordinary differential equations in Banach spaces and the spectral flow

We give a definition of the spectral flow for continuous paths in the space of bounded and essentially hyperbolic operators. We provide a homotopical characterization of the spectral flow in terms of a group homomorphism of the fundamental group of the projectors of the Calkin algebra with the infinite cyclic group Z. This characterization helps us to exhibit examples of infinite-dimensional Banach spaces where the spectral flow is not injective nor surjective. We prove that a path with spectral flow equal to an integer m exists if and only if there exists a projector P connected by an arc to a projector Q such that Range(Q) has co-dimension m in Range(P). We prove that if A is an asymptotically hyperbolic and essentially splitting path the differential operator F(u) = du/dt - Au is Fredholm. Moreover if A is also essentially hyperbolic the Fredholm index coincides with minus the spectral flow of A.
