Abstract
For the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in dimension 2, the existence of a global minimizer of the energy at fixed momentum has been established by Bethuel, Gravejat and Saut (2009) (see also work of Chiron and Mariş (2017)). This minimizer is a traveling wave for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. For large momenta, the propagation speed is small and the minimizer behaves like two well-separated vortices. In that limit, we show the uniqueness of this minimizer, up to the invariances of the problem, hence proving the orbital stability of this traveling wave. This work is a follow up to two previous papers, where we constructed and studied a particular traveling wave of the equation. We show a uniqueness result on this traveling wave in a class of functions that contains in particular all possible minimizers of the energy.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
