Abstract.

In this talk I intend to give a panoramic view on existence results for fully nontrivial solutions of a weakly coupled cubic nonlinear Schroedinger system which have been obtained during the past ten years. Amongst other things I will show that in 2D and 3D positive solutions exist and converge to a solution of some optimal partition problem as the coupling parameter tends to minus infinity whereas this phenomenon does not occur when the space dimension is 1.
