Abstract

We consider the quadratic Schrödinger system\begin{cases}iu_t + \Delta_{\gamma_1} u + \bar{u}v = 0 \\2iv_t + \Delta_{\gamma_2} v - \beta v + \frac{1}{2} u^2 = 0 , &t \in \mathbb{R} , x \in \mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{R} ,\end{cases}in dimensions $1 \leq d \leq 4$ and for $\gamma_1 ,\gamma_2 \gt 0$, the so-called elliptic-elliptic case. We show the formation of singularities and blow-up in the $L^2$-(super)critical case. Furthermore, we derive several stability results concerning the ground state solutions of this system.
