Traveling waves for a nonlinear Schr\"odinger system with quadratic interaction

Abstract

We study traveling wave solutions for a nonlinear Schr\"odinger system with quadratic interaction. For the non mass resonance case, the system has no Galilean symmetry, which is of particular interest in this paper. We construct traveling wave solutions by variational methods and see that for the non mass resonance case there exist specific traveling wave solutions which correspond to the solutions for ``zero mass" case in nonlinear elliptic equations. We also establish the new global existence result for oscillating data as an application. Both of our results essentially come from the lack of Galilean invariance in the system.
