We consider the focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation \begin{align}\label{CNLSS} i\partial_t U+ΔU=-|U|^2U\quad\text{on $\mathbb{R}^2\times\mathbb{T}$}.\tag{3NLS} \end{align} Different from the 3D Euclidean case, the \eqref{CNLSS} is mass-critical and non-scale-invariant on the waveguide manifold $\mathbb{R}^2\times\mathbb{T}$, hence the underlying analysis becomes more subtle and challenging. We formulate thresholds using the 2D Euclidean ground state of the focusing cubic NLS and show that solutions of \eqref{CNLSS} lying below the thresholds are global and scattering in time. The proof relies on several new established Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities, whose best constants are formulated in term of the 2D Euclidean ground state. It is also worth noting the interesting fact that the thresholds for global well-posedness and scattering do not coincide. To the author's knowledge, this paper also gives the first large data scattering result for focusing NLS on product spaces.
