Negative-energy blowup for the mass-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation

ID: negative-energy-blowup-for-the-mass-critical-focusing-nonlinear-schrodinger-equation

For a finite-variance solution of the mass-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the virial identity gives
If , the right-hand side is a negative constant. The nonnegative variance would then become negative in finite time if the solution remained regular, so the solution blows up in finite time.
