Continuations of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation beyond the   singularity
  We present four continuations of the critical nonlinear \schro equation (NLS) beyond the singularity: 1) a sub-threshold power continuation, 2) a shrinking-hole continuation for ring-type solutions, 3) a vanishing nonlinear-damping continuation, and 4) a complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) continuation. Using asymptotic analysis, we explicitly calculate the limiting solutions beyond the singularity. These calculations show that for generic initial data that leads to a loglog collapse, the sub-threshold power limit is a Bourgain-Wang solution, both before and after the singularity, and the vanishing nonlinear-damping and CGL limits are a loglog solution before the singularity, and have an infinite-velocity{\rev{expanding core}} after the singularity. Our results suggest that all NLS continuations share the universal feature that after the singularity time $T_c$, the phase of the singular core is only determined up to multiplication by $e^{i\theta}$. As a result, interactions between post-collapse beams (filaments) become chaotic. We also show that when the continuation model leads to a point singularity and preserves the NLS invariance under the transformation $t\rightarrow-t$ and $\psi\rightarrow\psi^\ast$, the singular core of the weak solution is symmetric with respect to $T_c$. Therefore, the sub-threshold power and the{\rev{shrinking}}-hole continuations are symmetric with respect to $T_c$, but continuations which are based on perturbations of the NLS equation are generically asymmetric.
