We consider the focusing L2-supercritical Schrödinger equation in the exterior of a smooth, compact, strictly convex obstacle Θ ⊂ R3. We construct a solution behaving asymptotically as a solitary wave on R3, for large times. When the velocity of the solitary wave is high, the existence of such a solution can be proved by a classical fixed point argument. To construct solutions with arbitrary nonzero velocity, we use a compactness argument similar to the one that was introduced by F.Merle in 1990 to construct solutions of the NLS equation blowing up at several points together with a topological argument using Brouwer’s theorem to control the unstable direction of the linearized operator at the soliton. These solutions are arbitrarily close to the scattering threshold given by a previous work of R. Killip, M. Visan and X. Zhang, which is the same as the one on the whole Euclidean space given by S. Roundenko and J. Holmer in the radial case and by the previous authors with T. Duyckaerts in the non-radial case.
