Split the solitary-wave energy into longitudinal, transverse and interaction contributions,
Consider the longitudinal dilation for . Changing variables to gives
The renormalized momentum of a condensate is unchanged: its single derivative contributes , cancelling the measure factor . Since the wave is a critical point of , differentiating this admissible scaling variation at gives
Therefore the longitudinal scaling identity for a condensate solitary wave yields
This directional Pohozaev identity assumes the finite energy and sufficient decay to justify the dilation variation; it can equivalently be obtained with cutoffs followed by a limit. It is an identity for solitary-wave critical points, not for arbitrary localized fields.
