Scattering for non-radial 3D NLS with combined nonlinearities: the interaction Morawetz approach

Abstract

We give a new proof of the scattering below the ground state energy level for a class of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations (NLS) with mass-energy intercritical competing nonlinearities. Specifically, the NLS has a focusing leading order nonlinearity with a defocusing perturbation. Our strategy combines interaction Morawetz estimates \`a la Dodson-Murphy and a new crucial bound for the Pohozaev functional of localized functions, which is essential to overcome the lack of a monotonicity condition. Furthermore, we give the rate of blow-up for symmetric solutions.
