Abstract:

We consider the 2-dimensional focusing mass critical NLS with an inhomogeneous nonlinearity: $i\partial _tu+\Delta u+k(x)|u|^{2}u=0$. From a standard argument, there exists a threshold $M_k>0$ such that $H^1$ solutions with $\|u\|_{L^2}<M_k$ are global in time while a finite time blow-up singularity formation may occur for $\|u\|_{L^2}>M_k$. In this paper, we consider the dynamics at threshold $\|u_0\|_{L^2}=M_k$ and give a necessary and sufficient condition on $k$ to ensure the existence of critical mass finite time blow-up elements. Moreover, we give a complete classification in the energy class of the minimal finite time blow-up elements at a nondegenerate point, hence extending the pioneering work by Merle who treated the pseudoconformal invariant case $k\equiv 1$.
