By the Blowup alternative for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, choose with , and set
The mass-critical scaling gives
The sequence is bounded and radial in , so part 4 yields, after extraction, weak and strong convergence to some . The energy identity gives . The Sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality and weak lower semicontinuity force equality in every limiting norm inequality. Hence strongly in , and the variational characterization identifies
for some ; radiality removes translations and the gradient normalization fixes the scale.
