Abstract

A general stability criterion is derived for the D-dimensional ground states of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which describes attractive Bose-Einstein condensates confined in a magnetic trap. These ground states are shown to avoid the collapse in finite time and are proven to be stable in two and three spatial dimensions.
