The quintic NLS as the mean field limit of a boson gas with three-body interactions

We investigate the dynamics of a boson gas with three-body interactions in dimensions d=1,2. We prove that in the limit of infinite particle number, the BBGKY hierarchy of k-particle marginals converges to a limiting (Gross-Pitaevskii (GP)) hierarchy for which we prove existence and uniqueness of solutions. Factorized solutions of the GP hierarchy are shown to be determined by solutions of a quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Our proof is based on, and extends, methods of Erdös-Schlein-Yau, Klainerman-Machedon, and Kirkpatrick-Schlein-Staffilani.     

一个新的非等谱可积族和一些相关对称

利用李群$M_nC$的一个子群我们引入一个线性非等谱问题,该问题的相容性条件可导出演化方程的一个非等谱可积族,该可积族可约化成一个广义非等谱可积族.这个广义非等谱可积族可进一步约化成在物理学中具有重要应用的标准非线性薛定谔方程和KdV方程.基于此,我们讨论在广义非等谱可积族等谱条件下的一个广义AKNS族$u_t=K_m(u)$的$K$对称和$\tau$对称.此外,我们还考虑非等谱AKNS族$u_t=\tau_{N+1}^l$的$K$对称和$\tau$对称.最后,我们得到这两个可积族的对称李代数,并给出这些对称和李代数的一些应用,即生成了一些变换李群和约化方程的无穷小算子.     

Thermodynamics and Hydrodynamics (Statistical Foundations): 4. Kinetic Processes in Multicomponent Systems

We use the BBGKY hierarchy and the mass, momentum, and intrinsic energy conservation laws, which are consequences of this hierarchy, to obtain the hydrodynamic equations for multicomponent systems and the diffusion equations. We formulate several restrictions on the thermodynamic equations for irreversible processes.     

Spectral-Parameter Dependent Yang–Baxter Operators and Yang–Baxter Systems From Algebra Structures

For any algebra, two families of colored Yang–Baxter operators are constructed, thus producing solutions to the two-parameter quantum Yang–Baxter equation. An open problem about a system of functional equations is stated. The matrix forms of these operators for two and three dimensional algebras are computed. A FRT bialgebra for one of these families is presented. Solutions for the one-parameter quantum Yang–Baxter equation are derived and a Yang–Baxter system constructed.     

Multi‐component integrable couplings for the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur and Volterra hierarchies

A kind of N × N non‐semisimple Lie algebra consisting of triangular block matrices is used to generate multi‐component integrable couplings of soliton hierarchies from zero curvature equations. Two illustrative examples are made for the continuous Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur hierarchy and the semi‐discrete Volterra hierarchy, together with recursion operators.

Evolution of a quantum system of many particles interacting via the generalized Yukawa potential

We study the evolution of a system of N particles that have identical masses and charges and interact via the generalized Yukawa potential. The system is placed in a bounded region. The evolution of such a system is described by the Bogoliubov–Born–Green–Kirkwood–Yvon (BBGKY) chain of quantum kinetic equations. Using semigroup theory, we prove the existence of a unique solution of the BBGKY chain of quantum kinetic equations with the generalized Yukawa potential.     

Convergence of a Stochastic Particle Approximation for Measure Solutions of the 2D Keller-Segel System

The analysis of a stochastic interacting particle scheme for the approximation of measure solutions of the parabolic-elliptic Keller–Segel system in 2D is continued. In previous work it has been shown that solutions of a regularized scheme converge to solutions of the regularized Keller–Segel system, when the number of particles tends to infinity. In the present work, the regularization is eliminated in the particle model, which requires an application of the framework of time dependent measures with diagonal defects, developed by Poupaud. The subsequent many particle limit of the BBGKY hierarchy can be solved using measure solutions of the Keller–Segel system and the molecular chaos assumption. However, a uniqueness result for the limiting hierarchy and therefore a proof of propagation of chaos is missing. Finally, the dynamics of strong measure solutions, i.e., sums of smooth distributions and Delta measures, of the particle model is discussed formally for the cases of 2 and 3 particles. The blow-up behavior for more than 2 particles is not completely understood.     

Nonlocal hydrodynamic equations and BBGKY hierarchy reduction for hard spheres

We discuss the derivation of the kinetic equation for a classical system of hard spheres based on an infinite sequence of equations for distribution functions in the BBGKY hierarchy case. It is well known that the assumption of full synchronization of all distributions leads to certain problems in describing the “tails” of the autocorrelation functions and some other correlation effects with medium or high density. We show how to avoid these difficulties by maintaining the explicit form of time-dependent dynamic correlations in the BBGKY closure scheme.

Symmetries of the DΔmKP hierarchy and their continuum limits

In the recent paper [Stud. App. Math. 147 (2021), 752], squared eigenfunction symmetry constraint of the differential-difference modified Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (DΔmKP) hierarchy converts the DΔmKP system to the relativistic Toda spectral problem and its hierarchy. In this paper, we introduce a new formulation of independent variables in the squared eigenfunction symmetry constraint, under which the DΔmKP system gives rise to the discrete spectral problem and a hierarchy of the differential-difference derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation of the Chen–Lee–Liu type. In addition, by introducing nonisospectral flows, two sets of symmetries of the DΔmKP hierarchy and their algebraic structure are obtained. We then present a unified continuum limit scheme, by which we achieve the correspondence of the mKP and the DΔmKP hierarchies and their integrable structures.

Derivation of the Cubic NLS and Gross–Pitaevskii Hierarchy from Manybody Dynamics in d = 3 Based on Spacetime Norms

We derive the defocusing cubic Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) hierarchy in dimension d = 3, from an N-body Schrödinger equation describing a gas of interacting bosons in the GP scaling, in the limit N → ∞. The main result of this paper is the proof of convergence of the corresponding BBGKY hierarchy to a GP hierarchy in the spaces introduced in our previous work on the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for GP hierarchies (Chen and Pavlovi? in Discr Contin Dyn Syst 27(2):715–739, 2010; http://arxiv.org/abs/0906.2984; Proc Am Math Soc 141:279–293, 2013), which are inspired by the solution spaces based on space-time norms introduced by Klainerman and Machedon (Comm Math Phys 279(1):169–185, 2008). We note that in d = 3, this has been a well-known open problem in the field. While our results do not assume factorization of the solutions, consideration of factorized solutions yields a new derivation of the cubic, defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) in d = 3.     

Negative energy blowup results for the focusing Hartree hierarchy via identities of virial and localized virial type

Abstract

We establish virial and localized virial identities for solutions to the Hartree hierarchy, an infinite system of partial differential equations which arises in mathematical modeling of many body quantum systems. As an application, we use arguments originally developed in the study of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (see work of Zakharov, Glassey, and Ogawa–Tsutsumi) to show that certain classes of negative energy solutions must blowup in finite time. The most delicate case of this analysis is the proof of negative energy blowup without the assumption of finite variance; in this case, we make use of the localized virial estimates, combined with the quantum de Finetti theorem of Hudson and Moody and several algebraic identities adapted to our particular setting. Application of a carefully chosen truncation lemma then allows for the additional terms produced in the localization argument to be controlled.     

Cumulant Representation of Solutions of the BBGKY Hierarchy of Equations

We construct a cumulant representation of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the BBGKY hierarchy of equations and for the dual hierarchy of equations. We define the notion of dual nonequilibrium cluster expansion. We investigate the convergence of the constructed cluster expansions in the corresponding functional spaces.     

Discretization of time-dependent quantum systems: real-time propagation of the evolution operator

We discuss time-dependent quantum systems on bounded domains. Our work may be viewed as a framework for several models, including linear iterations involved in time-dependent density functional theory, the Hartree-Fock model, or other quantum models. A key aspect of the analysis of the algorithms is the use of time-ordered evolution operators, which allow for both a well-posed problem and its approximation. The approximation theorems obtained for the time-ordered evolution operators complement those in the current literature. We discuss the available theory at the outset, and proceed to apply the theory systematically in later sections via approximations and a global existence theorem for a nonlinear system, obtained via a fixed point theorem for the evolution operator. Our work is consistent with first-principle real-time propagation of electronic states, aimed at finding the electronic responses of quantum molecular systems and nanostructures. We present two full 3D quantum atomistic simulations using the finite element method for discretizing the real space, and the FEAST eigenvalue algorithm for solving the evolution operator at each time step. These numerical experiments are representative of the theoretical results.     

Center-of-mass tomography and probability representation of quantum states for tunneling

We develop a representation of quantum states in which the states are described by fair probability distribution functions instead of wave functions and density operators. We present a one-random-variable tomography map of density operators onto the probability distributions, the random variable being analogous to the center-of-mass coordinate considered in reference frames rotated and scaled in the phase space. We derive the evolution equation for the quantum state probability distribution and analyze the properties of the map. To illustrate the advantages of the new tomography representations, we describe a new method for simulating nonstationary quantum processes based on the tomography representation. The problem of the nonstationary tunneling of a wave packet of a composite particle, an exciton, is considered in detail.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 142, No. 2, pp. 371–387, February, 2005.     

A RIGOROUS DERIVATION OF THE GROSS-PITAEVSKII HIERARCHY FOR WEAKLY COUPLED TWO-DIMENSIONAL BOSONS

In this article, we consider the dynamics of N two-dimensional boson systems interacting through a pair potential N-1Va(xi-xj) where Va(x) = a-2V (x/a). It is well known that the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation is a nonlinear Schrdinger equation and the GP hierarchy is an infinite BBGKY hierarchy of equations so that if ut solves the GP equation, then the family of k-particle density matrices {k ut, k ≥ 1} solves the GP hierarchy. Denote by ψN,t the solution to the N-particle Schrdinger equation. Under the assumption that a = N-ε for 0 ε 3/4, we prove that as N →∞ the limit points of the k-particle density matrices of ψN,t are solutions of the GP hierarchy with the coupling constant in the nonlinear term of the GP equation given by ∫V (x) dx.     

Global existence and large time behavior of solutions for the bipolar quantum hydrodynamic models in the quarter plane

In this paper, we discuss a bipolar transient quantum hydrodynamic model for charge density, current density, and electric field in the quarter plane. This model takes the form of a classical Euler–Poisson system with the additional dispersion terms caused by the quantum (Bohn) potential. We show global existence of smooth solutions for the initial boundary value problem when the initial data are near the nonlinear diffusive waves, which are different from the steady state. We also show the asymptotical behavior of the global smooth solution towards the nonlinear diffusive waves and obtain the algebraic decay rates. These results are proved by elaborate energy methods. Finally, using the Fourier analysis, we obtain the optimal convergence rates of the solutions towards the nonlinear diffusion waves. As far as we known, this is the first result about the initial boundary value problem of the one‐dimensional bipolar quantum hydrodynamic model in the quarter plane.
