Nonlinear instability of linearly unstable standing waves for nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations

We study the instability of standing waves for nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations. Under a general assumption on nonlinearity, we prove that linear instability implies orbital instability in any dimension. For that purpose, we establish a Strichartz type estimate for the propagator generated by the linearized operator around standing wave.
