For real , differentiation under the integral gives
The ground-state equation and integration by parts reduce this to
In particular, along the amplitude direction the derivative is . Hence has negative energy for every sufficiently small , while
when is chosen small enough. The ground state has finite variance, so negative-energy blowup for the mass-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation shows that the corresponding solution blows up in finite time.
