We consider the 3D quantum BBGKY hierarchy which corresponds to the $N$-particle Schrödinger equation. We assume the pair interaction is $N^{3\beta –1}V\left(B^{\beta }\right)$. For the interaction parameter $\beta \in (0,2/3)$, we prove that, provided an energy bound holds for solutions to the BBKGY hierarchy, the $N\to \infty$ limit points satisfy the space-time bound conjectured by S. Klainerman and M. Machedon [45] in 2008. The energy bound was proven to hold for $\beta \in (0,3/5)$ in [28]. This allows, in the case $\beta \in (0,3/5)$, for the application of the Klainerman–Machedon...

We address the problem of the existence of finite energy solitary waves for nonlinear Klein-Gordon or Schrödinger type equations $\Delta u-u+f\left(u\right)=0$ in ${ℝ}^N$, $u\in H^1\left({ℝ}^N\right)$, where $N\ge 2$. Under natural conditions on the nonlinearity $f$, we prove the existence of $\mathrm{𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠}$ in any dimension $N\ge 2$. Our result complements earlier works of Bartsch and Willem $(N=4\mathrm{𝚘𝚛}N\ge 6)$ and Lorca-Ubilla $(N=5)$ where solutions invariant under the action of $O\left(2\right)\times O(N-2)$ are constructed. In contrast, the solutions we construct are invariant under the action of $D_k\times O(N-2)$ where $D_k\subset O\left(2\right)$ denotes the dihedral...

We present a novel approach for bounding the resolvent of $$H=-\Delta +i(A·\nabla +\nabla ·A)+V=:-\Delta +L1$$ for large energies. It is shown here that there exist a large integer $m$ and a large number ${\lambda }_0$ so that relative to the usual weighted $L^2$-norm, $$\parallel {\left(L{(-\Delta +(\lambda +i0))}^{-1}\right)}^m\parallel <\frac{1}{2}2$$ for all $\lambda >{\lambda }_0$. This requires suitable decay and smoothness conditions on $A,V$. The estimate (2) is trivial when $A=0$, but difficult for large $A$ since the gradient term exactly cancels the natural decay of the free resolvent. To obtain (2), we introduce a conical decomposition of the resolvent and...

We prove an upper bound for the Aviles–Giga problem, which involves the minimization of the energy $E_{\epsilon }\left(v\right)=\epsilon {\int }_{\Omega }|{\nabla }^2{v|}^{2}dx+{\epsilon }^{-1}{\int }_{\Omega }{\left(1-\right|\nabla v|}^2{)}^{2}dx$ over $v\in H^2\left(\Omega \right)$, where $\epsilon >0$ is a small parameter. Given $v\in W^{1,\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$ such that $\nabla v\in BV$ and $\left|\nabla v\right|=1$ a.e., we construct a family $\left\{v_{\epsilon }\right\}$ satisfying: $v_{\epsilon }\to v$ in $W^{1,p}\left(\Omega \right)$ and $E_{\epsilon }\left(v_{\epsilon }\right)\to \frac{1}{3}{\int }_{J_{\nabla v}}{\left|{\nabla }^{+}v-{\nabla }^{-}v\right|}^{3}d{\mathscr{H}}^{N-1}$ as $\epsilon$ goes to 0.

General concepts and strategies are developed for identifying the isomorphism type of the second $p$-class group $G=\mathrm{Gal}\left({\mathrm{F}}_p^2\left(K\right)\right|K)$, that is the Galois group of the second Hilbert $p$-class field ${\mathrm{F}}_p^2\left(K\right)$, of a number field $K$, for a prime $p$. The isomorphism type determines the position of $G$ on one of the coclass graphs $𝒢(p,r)$, $r\ge 0$, in the sense of Eick, Leedham-Green, and Newman. It is shown that, for special types of the base field $K$ and of its $p$-class group ${\mathrm{Cl}}_p\left(K\right)$, the position of $G$ is restricted to certain admissible branches...

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3. Given...

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a subgroup. Denote by $D(G;H)$ (or $D\left(G\right)$) the crossed product of $C\left(G\right)$ and $ℂH$ (or $ℂG$) with respect to the adjoint action of the latter on the former. Consider the algebra $\langle D\left(G\right),e\rangle$ generated by $D\left(G\right)$ and $e$, where we regard $E$ as an idempotent operator $e$ on $D\left(G\right)$ for a certain conditional expectation $E$ of $D\left(G\right)$ onto $D(G;H)$. Let us call $\langle D\left(G\right),e\rangle$ the basic construction from the conditional expectation $E:D\left(G\right)\to D(G;H)$. The paper constructs a crossed product algebra $C(G/H\times G)⋊ℂG$, and proves that there is an algebra isomorphism between...

For an algebraic number field $K$ with $3$-class group ${\mathrm{Cl}}_3\left(K\right)$ of type $(3,3)$, the structure of the $3$-class groups ${\mathrm{Cl}}_3\left(N_i\right)$ of the four unramified cyclic cubic extension fields $N_i$, $1\le i\le 4$, of $K$ is calculated with the aid of presentations for the metabelian Galois group ${\mathrm{G}}_3^2\left(K\right)=\mathrm{Gal}\left({\mathrm{F}}_3^2\left(K\right)\right|K)$ of the second Hilbert $3$-class field ${\mathrm{F}}_3^2\left(K\right)$ of $K$. In the case of a quadratic base field $K=\mathbb{Q}\left(\sqrt{D}\right)$ it is shown that the structure of the $3$-class groups of the four $S_3$-fields $N_1,...,N_4$ frequently determines the type of principalization of the $3$-class group of $K$ in $N_1,...,N_4$. This...
