On the binding of polarons in a mean-field quantum crystal

Mathieu Lewin, Nicolas Rougerie (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a multi-polaron model obtained by coupling the many-body Schrödinger equation for N interacting electrons with the energy functional of a mean-field crystal with a localized defect, obtaining a highly non linear many-body problem. The physical picture is that the electrons constitute a charge defect in an otherwise perfect periodic crystal. A remarkable feature of such a system is the possibility to form a bound state of electrons via their interaction with the polarizable background....

On the blow-up phenomenon for the mass-critical focusing Hartree equation in ℝ⁴

Changxing Miao, Guixiang Xu, Lifeng Zhao (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We characterize the dynamics of the finite time blow-up solutions with minimal mass for the focusing mass-critical Hartree equation with H¹(ℝ⁴) data and L²(ℝ⁴) data, where we make use of the refined Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality of convolution type and the profile decomposition. Moreover, we analyze the mass concentration phenomenon of such blow-up solutions.

On the derivation of a quantum Boltzmann equation from the periodic Von-Neumann equation

François Castella (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present the semi-conductor Boltzmann equation, which is time-reversible, and indicate that it can be formally derived by considering the large time and small perturbing potential limit in the Von-Neumann equation (time-reversible). We then rigorously compute the corresponding asymptotics in the case of the Von-Neumann equation on the Torus. We show that the limiting equation we obtain does not coincide with the physically realistic model. The former is indeed an equation of Boltzmann type, yet...

On the derivation of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Riccardo Adami (2005)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

This article reflects in its content the talk the author gave at the XVII Congresso dell’Unione Matematica Italiana, held in Milano, 8-13 September 2003. We review about some recent results on the problem of deriving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in dimension one from the dynamics of a quantum system with a large number of identical bosons. We explain the motivations for some peculiar choices (shape of the interaction potential, scaling, initial datum). Open problems are pointed out and difficulties...

Propagation estimates for Dirac operators and application to scattering theory

Thierry Daudé (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper, we prove propagation estimates for a massive Dirac equation in flat spacetime. This allows us to construct the asymptotic velocity operator and to analyse its spectrum. Eventually, using this new information, we are able to obtain complete scattering results; that is to say we prove the existence and the asymptotic completeness of the Dollard modified wave operators.
