| contents | We study the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation on noncompact metric graphs under general self-adjoint vertex conditions ensuring the existence of a negative eigenvalue of the Hamiltonian operator. First, we focus on the existence of energy ground states with prescribed mass. We show that existence and stability always hold for small masses and fail for large masses in the $L^2$-subcritical regime. For $δ$-type vertex conditions, we provide more precise results: ground states exist for all masses in the $L^2$-critical and supercritical cases, while in the subcritical case, for one vertex graphs, there exists a sharp mass threshold such that ground states exist below it and do not exist above it. Moreover, we show that the ground state bifurcates from the vanishing solution at the bottom of the Hamiltonian spectrum. Finally, we present multiplicity results for stationary solutions, both in the fixed-frequency and fixed-mass settings. |
