For a sufficiently regular solution of the mass-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with finite variance, the variance and its first derivative areA second differentiation and integration by parts give the virial identityThese constants use Laplacian coefficient one in the evolution equation. Energy conservation makes the second derivative constant. If the energy is negative, the resulting quadratic expression for eventually becomes negative, contradicting its definition as a nonnegative integral; this proves negative-energy blowup for the mass-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation under the finite-variance hypotheses.
