Notes

  1. 1.

    The critical NLS also admits the explicit blowup vortex solutions \(\psi _{R_m^{(n)}}^\mathrm{explicit}\) and \(\psi _{G_m}^\mathrm{explicit}\) (Sects. 15.5 and 15.6, respectively).

  2. 2.

    This is different from \(\psi _{R^{(n)}}^\mathrm{explicit}\), which is unstable under radial perturbations for any \(n\), and not just for the excited states.

  3. 3.

    In Sect. 17.3 the profile of the collapsing core is denoted by \(V_0\), in order to emphasize that it is peak-type and not ring-type.

  4. 4.

    In Lemma we show that all self-similar radial solutions of the critical NLS are of the form (11.5).

  5. 5.

    Denoted therein by \(V_0\).

  6. 6.

    In Corollary 11.4 we will see that if \(0<G_0 \ll 1\) then \(r_{\max } \gg 1\). The condition \(r_{\max }\le \gamma ^{-\frac{1}{2}}\) ensures that \(r _{\max }\) is in the ring region and not in the tail region.

  7. 7.

    i.e., when \(\alpha =\alpha ^{(1)}(G_0)\), see Sect. 11.2.5.

  8. 8.

    i.e., calculating \(c_G\) as a function of \(\alpha \), and finding the minimum points \(\alpha ^{(n)}\).

  9. 9.

    See e.g., the top curve in Fig. 11.6.

  10. 10.

    The conclusion that \(G = O(1)\) in the ring region also follows from (11.31).

  11. 11.

    In the absence of noise, the radius of the (rescaled) \(G\) profile is \(\rho _{\max }\approx 19\) (Fig. 11.11b). Once noise is added, however, the solution approaches a different \(G\) profile with \(\rho _{\max } \approx 20\) (Fig. 11.13c). This is because the noise used in this simulation increases the input power. Therefore, the solution collapses with a self-similar ring profile that has more power, hence a larger radius (Sect. 11.2.5).

  12. 12.

    The fact that the perturbed solution in Fig. 11.13 collapses with a different single-ring profile (Footnote 11), does not imply that \(\psi _G^\mathrm{explicit}\) is unstable, because perturbations of a stable singular solution are allowed to lead to a continuous change of the blowup profile (Sect. 10.5).

  13. 13.

    See Sect. 9.7 for the advantage of using a deterministic azimuthal perturbation.

  14. 14.

    Here we use the assumption that \(\delta _k\) is real.

  15. 15.

    This is typical for a modulational instability (Sect. 3.6.3).
