Abstract

We study the cubic-quintic NLS in three space dimensions. It is known that scattering holds for solutions with mass-energy in a region corresponding to positive virial, the boundary of which is delineated both by ground state solitons and by certain rescalings thereof. We classify the possible behaviors of solutions on the part of the boundary attained solely by solitons. In particular, we show that non-soliton solutions either scatter in both time directions or coincide (modulo symmetries) with a special solution, which scatters in one time direction and converges exponentially to the soliton in the other.
