When a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is rotated sufficiently fast, it nucleates vortices. The system is only stable if the rotational velocity is lower than a critical value . Experiments show that as approaches , the condensate nucleates more and more vortices, which become periodically arranged. We present here a mathematical study of this limit. Using Bargmann transform and an analogy with semi-classical analysis in second quantization, we prove that the system necessarily has an infinite...
In order to describe a solid which deforms smoothly in some region, but non smoothly in some other region, many multiscale methods have recently been proposed. They aim at coupling an atomistic model (discrete mechanics) with a macroscopic model (continuum mechanics). We provide here a theoretical ground for such a coupling in a one-dimensional setting. We briefly study the general case of a convex energy, and next concentrate on a specific example of a nonconvex energy, the Lennard-Jones case....

The present article is an overview of some mathematical results, which
provide elements of rigorous basis for some multiscale
computations in materials science. The emphasis is laid upon atomistic
to continuum limits for crystalline materials. Various mathematical
approaches are addressed. The
setting is stationary. The relation to existing techniques used in the engineering
literature is investigated.
