Threshold solutions in the focusing 3D cubic NLS equation outside a strictly convex obstacle

We study the dynamics of the focusing $3d$ cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation in the exterior of a strictly convex obstacle at the mass-energy threshold, namely, when $ E_{\Omega}[u_0] M_{\Omega}[u_0] = E_{\R^3}[Q] M_{\R^3}[Q] $ and $ \left\| \nabla u_0 \right\|_{L^{2}(\Omega)} \left\|u_0\right\|_{L^{2}(\Omega)}< \left\| \nabla Q \right\|_{L^2(\R^3)} \left\| Q \right\|_{L^2(\R^3)} ,$ where $u_0 \in H^1_0(\Omega)$ is the initial data, $Q$ is the ground state on the Euclidean space, $E$ is the energy and $M$ is the mass. In the whole Euclidean space Duyckaerts and Roudenko (following the work of Duyckaerts and Merle on the energy-critical problem) have proved the existence of a specific global solution that scatters for negative times and converges to the soliton in positive times. We prove that these heteroclinic orbits do not exist for the problem in the exterior domain and that all solutions at the threshold are globally defined and scatter. The main difficulty is the control of the space translation parameter, since the Galilean transformation is not available.
