Families of single, vortex, and multi-lobed solitons are computed using a spectrally-accurate numerical scheme. The multi-lobed solitons are unstable to small transverse perturbations. However, the single-lobed solitons are stable if they are sufficiently confined along the transverse direction, which explains their effective one-dimensional dynamics.
