On nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with attractive inverse-power potentials

Abstract

We study the Cauchy problem for nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with attractive inverse-power potentials. By using variational arguments, we first determine a sharp threshold of global well-posedness and blow-up for the equation in the mass-supercritical case. We next study the existence and non-existence of minimizers for the energy functional with prescribed mass constraint. In the mass-critical case, we also study the blow-up behavior of minimizers when the mass tends to a critical value.
