Scattering for a Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation with a Potential
  We consider a 3d cubic focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a potential $$i\partial_t u+\Delta u-Vu+|u|^2u=0,$$ where $V$ is a real-valued short-range potential having a small negative part. We find criteria for global well-posedness analogous to the homogeneous case $V=0$ (Duyckaerts-Holmer-Roudenko). Moreover, by the concentration-compactness approach, we prove that if $V$ is repulsive, such global solutions scatter.
