Abstract
The focusing cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation in two dimensions admits vortex solitons, standing wave solutions with spatial structure, Q((m))(r,theta) = e(im theta) R-(m)(r). In the case of spin m = 1, we prove there exists a class of data that collapse with the vortex soliton profile at the log-log rate. This extends the work of Merle and Raphael (the case m = 0) and suggests that the L-2 mass that may be concentrated at a point during generic collapse may be unbounded. Difficulties with m = 2, or when the spin symmetry is broken, are also discussed. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3608054]
