Divergence of Infinite-Variance Nonradial Solutions to the 3D NLS Equation

We consider solutions u(t) to the 3d NLS equation i? _t u + Δu + |u|² u = 0 such that ‖xu(t)‖ _{L ²}  = ∞ and u(t) is nonradial. Denoting by M[u] and E[u], the mass and energy, respectively, of a solution u, and by Q(x) the ground state solution to ?Q + ΔQ + |Q|² Q = 0, we prove the following: if M[u]E[u] < M[Q]E[Q] and ‖u ₀‖ _{L ²} ‖?u ₀‖ _{L ²}  > ‖Q‖ _{L ²} ‖?Q‖ _{L ²} , then either u(t) blows-up in finite positive time or u(t) exists globally for all positive time and there exists a sequence of times t _n  → + ∞ such that ‖?u(t _n )‖ _{L ²}  → ∞. Similar statements hold for negative time.     

The defocusing energy-supercritical NLS in higher dimensions

We consider the defocusing nonlinear Schr?dinger equations iu_t +△u =|u|~(p_u) with p being an even integer in dimensions d≥ 5. We prove that an a priori bound of critical norm implies global well-posedness and scattering for the solution.     

Scattering in H1 for the intercritical NLS with an inverse-square potential

We study the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with an inverse-square potential in dimensions $3\le d\le 6$. We consider both focusing and defocusing nonlinearities in the mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical regime. In the focusing case, we prove a scattering/blowup dichotomy below the ground state. In the defocusing case, we prove scattering in $H^1$ for arbitrary data.     

Minimal Blow-Up Solutions to the Mass-Critical Inhomogeneous NLS Equation

We consider the mass-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the presence of an external potential, when the nonlinearity is inhomogeneous. We show that if the inhomogeneous factor in front of the nonlinearity is sufficiently flat at a critical point, then there exists a solution which blows up in finite time with the maximal (unstable) rate at this point. In the case where the critical point is a maximum, this solution has minimal mass among the blow-up solutions. As a corollary, we also obtain unstable blow-up solutions of the mass-critical Schrödinger equation on some surfaces. The proof is based on properties of the linearized operator around the ground state, and on a full use of the invariances of the equation with an homogeneous nonlinearity and no potential, via time-dependent modulations.     

Nonlinear Bound States on Weakly Homogeneous Spaces

We prove the existence of ground state solutions for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations, arising in the production of standing wave solutions to an associated family of nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We examine two constrained minimization problems, which give rise to such solutions. One yields what we call F _λ-minimizers, the other energy minimizers. We produce such ground state solutions on a class of Riemannian manifolds called weakly homogeneous spaces, and establish smoothness, positivity, and decay properties. We also identify classes of Riemannian manifolds with no such minimizers, and classes for which essential uniqueness of positive solutions to the associated elliptic PDE fails.     

Energy Scattering Theory for Electromagnetic NLS in Dimension Two

We study the well-posedness and long-time behavior of solution to both defocusing and focusing nonlinear Schr?dinger equations with scaling critical magnetic potentials in dimension two.In the defocusing case, and under the assumption that the initial data is radial, we prove interaction Morawetz-type inequalities and show the scattering holds in the energy space. The magnetic potential considered here is the Aharonov–Bohm potential which decays likely the Coulomb potential |x|~(-1).     

Scattering Theory Below Energy for a Class of Hartree Type Equations

We prove the global existence and scattering for the Hartree-type equation in H ^s (?³) the low regularity space s < 1. We follow the ideas in Colliander et al. (2004 Colliander , J. , Keel , M. , Staffilani , G. , Takaoka , H. , Tao , T. ( 2004 ). Global existence and scattering for rough solutions of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation on ?³ . Comm. Pure Appl.

Local well-posedness of the nonlinear Schrödinger equations on the sphere for data in modulation spaces

In this paper, the authors discuss a priori estimates derived from the energy method to the initial value problem for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger on the sphere S². Exploring suitable a priori estimates, the authors prove the existence of solution for data whose regularity is s = 1/4.     

Local Existence and WKB Approximation of Solutions to Schrödinger–Poisson System in the Two-Dimensional Whole Space

We consider the Schrödinger–Poisson system in the two-dimensional whole space. A new formula of solutions to the Poisson equation is used. Although the potential term solving the Poisson equation may grow at the spatial infinity, we show the unique existence of a time-local solution for data in the Sobolev spaces by an analysis of a quantum hydrodynamical system via a modified Madelung transform. This method has been used to justify the WKB approximation of solutions to several classes of nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the semiclassical limit.     

The rigorous derivation of the T2 focusing cubic NLS from 3D

We derive rigorously the 2D periodic focusing cubic NLS as the mean-field limit of the 3D focusing quantum many-body dynamics describing a dilute Bose gas with periodic boundary condition in the x-direction and a well of infinite-depth in the z-direction. Physical experiments for these systems are scarce. We find that, to fulfill the empirical requirement for observing NLS dynamics in experiments, namely, that the kinetic energy dominates the potential energy, it is necessary to impose an extra restriction on the system parameters. This restriction gives rise to an unusual coupling constant.     

Finite Time Extinction for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in 1D and 2D

We consider a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with power nonlinearity, either on a compact manifold without boundary, or on the whole space in the presence of harmonic confinement, in space dimension one and two. Up to introducing an extra superlinear damping to prevent finite time blow up, we show that the presence of a sublinear damping always leads to finite time extinction of the solution in 1D, and that the same phenomenon is present in the case of small mass initial data in 2D.     

Nonlinear Schrödinger equation containing the time-derivative of the probability density: A numerical study

A nonlinear Schrödinger equation that contains the time-derivative of the probability density is investigated, which is motivated by the attempt to include the recoil effect of radiation. This equation has the same stationary solutions as its linear counterpart, and these solutions are the eigen-states of the corresponding linear Hamiltonian. The equation leads to the usual continuity equation and thus maintains the normalization of the wave function. For the non-stationary solutions, numerical calculations are carried out for the one-dimensional infinite square-well potential (1D ISWP) and for several time-dependent potentials that tend to the former as time increases. Results show that for various initial states, the wave function always evolves into some eigen-state of the corresponding linear Hamiltonian of the 1D ISWP. For a small time-dependent perturbation potential, solutions present the process similar to the spontaneous transition between stationary states. For a periodical potential with an appropriate frequency, solutions present the process similar to the stimulated transition. This nonlinear Schrödinger equation thus presents the state evolution similar to the wave-function reduction.

Global semiclassical limit from Hartree to Vlasov equation for concentrated initial data

We prove a quantitative and global in time semiclassical limit from the Hartree to the Vlasov equation in the case of a singular interaction potential in dimension $d\ge 3$, including the case of a Coulomb singularity in dimension $d=3$. This result holds for initial data concentrated enough in the sense that some space moments are initially sufficiently small. As an intermediate result, we also obtain quantitative bounds on the space and velocity moments of even order and the asymptotic behavior of the spatial density due to dispersion effects, uniform in the Planck constant ħ.     

Concentration on curves for a nonlinear Schrödinger problem with electromagnetic potential

We prove the existence of solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation ${\epsilon }^2{(i\mathrm{?}+\mathit{A})}^{2}u+V(y)u?|u{|}^{p?1}u=0$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^2$ with a magnetic potential $\mathit{A}=(A_1,A_2)$. Here V represents the electric potential, the index p is greater than 1. Along some sequence $\{{\epsilon }_n\}$ tending to zero we exhibit complex-value solutions that concentrate along some closed curves.     

Effect of inhomogeneity in energy transfer through alpha helical proteins with interspine coupling

The dynamics of homogeneous and inhomogeneous alpha helical proteins with interspine coupling is under investigation in this paper by proposing a suitable model Hamiltonian. For specific choice of parameters, the dynamics of homogeneous alpha helical proteins is found to be governed by a set of completely integrable three coupled derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations (Chen–Lee–Liu equations). The effect of inhomogeneity is understood by performing a perturbation analysis on the resulting perturbed three coupled NLS equation. An equivalent set of integrable discrete three coupled derivative NLS equations is derived through an appropriate generalization of the Lax pair of the original Ablowitz–Ladik lattice and the nature of the energy transfer along the lattice is studied.
