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 of singularities in many-body scattering in the presence of bound states

András Vasy (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

In these lecture notes we describe the propagation of singularities of tempered distributional solutions u 𝒮 ' of ( H - λ ) u = 0 , where H is a many-body hamiltonian H = Δ + V , Δ 0 , V = a V a , and λ is not a threshold of H , under the assumption that the inter-particle (e.g. two-body) interactions V a are real-valued polyhomogeneous symbols of order - 1 (e.g. Coulomb-type with the singularity at the origin removed). Here the term “singularity” provides a microlocal description of the lack of decay at infinity. Our result is then that the...

Scattering theory for 3-particle systems in constant magnetic fields : dispersive case

Christian Gérard, Izabella Łaba (1996)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We develop a scattering theory for quantum systems of three charged particles in a constant magnetic field. For such systems, we generalize our earlier results in that we make no additional assumptions on the electric charges of subsystems. The main difficulty is the analysis of the scattering channels corresponding to the motion of the bound states of the neutral subsystems in the directions transversal to the field. The effective kinetic energy of this motion is given by certain dispersive Hamiltonians;...
