We consider the 3D Gross-Pitaevskii equation \begin{equation}\nonumber i\partial_t ψ+Δψ+(1-|ψ|^2)ψ=0 \text{ for } ψ:\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{C} \end{equation} and construct traveling waves solutions to this equation. These are solutions of the form $ψ(t,x)=u(x_1,x_2,x_3-Ct)$ with a velocity $C$ of order $\varepsilon|\log\varepsilon|$ for a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$. We build two different types of solutions. For the first type, the functions $u$ have a zero-set (vortex set) close to an union of $n$ helices for $n\geq 2$ and near these helices $u$ has degree 1. For the second type, the functions $u$ have a vortex filament of degree $-1$ near the vertical axis $e_3$ and $n\geq 4$ vortex filaments of degree $+1$ near helices whose axis is $e_3$. In both cases the helices are at a distance of order $1/(\varepsilon\sqrt{|\log \varepsilon|)}$ from the axis and are solutions to the Klein-Majda-Damodaran system, supposed to describe the evolution of nearly parallel vortex filaments in ideal fluids. Analogous solutions have been constructed recently by the authors for the stationary Gross-Pitaevskii equation, namely the Ginzburg-Landau equation. To prove the existence of these solutions we use the Lyapunov-Schmidt method and a subtle separation between even and odd Fourier modes of the error of a suitable approximation.

在空间维$ N \geq 2$中证明了一类无穷远非零条件下的非线性薛定谔方程(包括Gross-Pitaevskii方程和所谓的“五次”方程)的非平凡有限能量行波解的存在性.我们表明,在固定动量的能量最小化可以使用时,相关的非线性势是非负的,它给出了一组轨道稳定的行波,而在恒定动能的作用最小化可以在所有情况下使用。我们还探讨了由不同方法得到的行波族之间的关系,并证明了小能量行波的不存在性。
