The asymptotic stability on the line of ground states of the pure power NLS with $0<|p-3|\ll 1$

Abstract

For exponents $p$ satisfying $0<|p-3|\ll 1$ and only in the context of spatially even solutions we prove that the ground states of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) with pure power nonlinearity of exponent $p$ in the line are asymptotically stable. The proof is similar to a related result of Martel, preprint arXiv:2312.11016, for a cubic quintic NLS. Here we modify the second part of Martel's argument, replacing the second virial inequality for a transformed problem with a smoothing estimate on the initial problem, appropriately tamed by multiplying the initial variables and equations by a cutoff.
