This paper is concerned with the critical nonlinear Gross–Pitaevskii equation, which describes the attractive Bose–Einstein condensate under a magnetic trap. We derive a sharp threshold between the global existence and the blowing-up of the system. Furthermore, we answer the question: how small are the initial data, such that the system has global solutions for the nonlinear critical power $p=1+(4/N)$?
