Suppose we are in the L^2\, subcritical NLS p < 1 + 2/d\,, with focusing non-linearity. Then there is a unique positive radial ground state (or soliton) for each energy E\,. By translation and phase shift one thus obtains a four-dimensional manifold of ground states for each energy. This manifold is H^1\,-stable Ws1985, Ws1986. Below the H^1\, norm, this is not known, but polynomial upper bounds on the instability are in CoKeStTkTa2003b. Multisolitons are also asymptotically stable under smooth decaying perturbations Ya1980, Grf1990, Zi1997, RoScgSf-p, RoScgSf-p2, provided that p\, is betweeen 1+2/d\, and 1+4/d\,.
