N-Body quantum systems with singular potentials
This article reflects in its content the talk the author gave at the XVII Congresso dellUnione 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...
In these lecture notes we describe the propagation of singularities of tempered distributional solutions of , where is a many-body hamiltonian , , , and is not a threshold of , under the assumption that the inter-particle (e.g. two-body) interactions are real-valued polyhomogeneous symbols of order (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...
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;...
