Self-similar blow-up profiles for slightly supercritical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations

2019 
We construct radially symmetric self-similar blow-up profiles for the mass supercritical nonlinear Schrodinger equation $i\partial_t u + \Delta u + |u|^{p-1}u=0$ on $\mathbf{R}^d$, close to the mass critical case and for any space dimension $d\ge 1$. These profiles bifurcate from the ground state solitary wave. The argument relies on the classical matched asymptotics method suggested in [Sulem, C.; Sulem, P.-L., The nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Self-focusing and wave collapse. Applied Mathematical Sciences, 139. Springer-Verlag, New York, 1999] which needs to be applied in a degenerate case due to the presence of exponentially small terms in the bifurcation equation related to the log-log blow-up law observed in the mass critical case.
