We prove a dispersive estimate for the one-dimensional Schroedinger equation, mapping between weighted $L^p$ spaces with stronger time-decay ($t^{-3/2}$ versus $t^{-1/2}$) than is possible on unweighted spaces. To satisfy this bound, the long-term behavior of solutions must include transport away from the origin. Our primary requirements are that $(1+|x|)^3 V$ be integrable and $-Δ+ V$ not have a resonance at zero energy. If a resonance is present (for example in the free case), similar estimates are valid after projecting away from a rank-one subspace corresponding to the resonance.
We prove L^1 --> L^\infty estimates for the linear Schroedinger equation in three dimensions. The potential is assumed to belong to certain L^p spaces, but no pointwise decay estimates and no additional regularity is required.
We show that the Schroedinger equation is a lift of Newton's law of motion on the space of probability measures, where derivatives are taken w.r.t. the Wasserstein Riemannian metric. Here the potential is the sum of the total classical potential energy of the extended system and its Fisher information. The precise relation is established via a well known ('Madelung') transform which is shown to be a symplectic submersion of the standard symplectic structure of complex valued functions into the canonical symplectic space over the Wasserstein space. All computations are conducted in the framewor…
We prove a dispersive estimate for the evolution of Schroedinger operators $H = -Δ+ V(x)$ in ${\mathbb R}^3$. The potential is allowed to be a complex-valued function belonging to $L^p(\R^3)\cap L^q(\R^3)$, $p < \frac32 < q$, so that $H$ need not be self-adjoint or even symmetric. Some additional spectral conditions are imposed, namely that no resonances of $H$ exist anywhere within the interval $[0,\infty)$ and that eigenfunctions at zero (including generalized eigenfunctions) decay rapidly enough to be integrable.
It is shown that the spatial Sobolev norms of regular global solutions of the (2+1),(3+1) and (4+1)-dimensional Klein-Gordon-Schroedinger system and the (2+1) and (3+1)-dimensional Zakharov system grow at most polynomially with the bound depending on the regularity class of the data. The proof uses the Fourier restriction norm method.
Sharp spectral asymptotics for 2- and 3-dimensional Schroedinger operators with strong magnetic field are derived under rather weak smoothness conditions. In comparison with version 1 of 2005 new results are added and minor errors corrected.
In this paper, we study some modified linear restriction estimates of the dynamics generated by Schroedinger operator on metric cone $M$, where the metric cone $M$ is of the form $M=(0,\infty)_r\timesΣ$ with the cross section $Σ$ being a compact $(n-1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(Σ,h)$ and the equipped metric is $g=\mathrm{d}r^2+r^2h$. Assuming the initial data possesses additional regularity in angular variable $θ\inΣ$, we show some linear restriction estimates for the solutions. As applications, we obtain global-in-time Strichartz estimates for radial initial data and show small initi…
We prove, by adapting the method of Colliander-Kenig (2002), local well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problem for the one-dimensional nonlinear Schroedinger equation on the half-line under low boundary regularity assumptions.
Generalized solutions of the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, with certain nonlinearities, are not unique. For any $s<0$ there exist nonzero generalized solutions varying continuously in the Sobolev space $H^s$, with identically vanishing initial data.
I consider 4-dimensional Schrödinger operator with the generic non-degenerating magnetic field and for a generic potential I derive spectral asymptotics with the remainder estimate $O(μ^{-1}h^{-3})$ and the principal part $\asymp h^{-4}$ where $h\ll 1$ is Planck constant and $μ\gg 1$ is the intensity of the magnetic field. For general potentials remainder estimate $O(μ^{-1}h^{-3}+μ^2h^{-2})$ is achieved.
We consider two-dimensional Schroedinger operators with magnetic field. Under certain regularity and decay assumptions on the magnetic and electric field we show that the behavior of the corresponding resolvent at threshold and the behavior of the unitary group for large times are determined by the total flux of the associated magnetic field.
By developing the method of multipliers, we establish sufficient conditions on the electric potential and magnetic field which guarantee that the corresponding two-dimensional Schroedinger operator possesses no point spectrum. The settings of complex-valued electric potentials and singular magnetic potentials of Aharonov-Bohm field are also covered.
We consider the Schrödinger Map equation in $2+1$ dimensions, with values into $§^2$. This admits a lowest energy steady state $Q$, namely the stereographic projection, which extends to a two dimensional family of steady states by scaling and rotation. We prove that $Q$ is unstable in the energy space $\dot H^1$. However, in the process of proving this we also show that within the equivariant class $Q$ is stable in a stronger topology $X \subset \dot H^1$.
We prove two new results about the Cauchy problem for nonlinear Schroedinger equations on four-dimensional compact manifolds. The first one concerns global wellposedness for Hartree-type nonlinearities and includes approximations of cubic NLS on the sphere. The second one provides local wellposedness for quadratic nonlinearities in the case of zonal data on the sphere. Both results are based on new multilinear Strichartz-type estimates for the Schroedinger group.
We obtain explicit solutions for the density $φ_T$ of the first-time $T$ that a one-dimensional Brownian process $B$ reaches the twice, continuously differentiable moving boundary $f$ and such that $f''(t)\geq 0$ for all $t\in \mathbb{R}^+$. We do so by finding the expected value of some functionals of a 3-dimensional Bessel bridge $\tilde{X}$ and exploiting its relationship with first-passage time problems as pointed out by Kardaras (2007). It turns out that this problem is related to Schrödinger's equation with time-dependent linear potential, see Feng (2001).
We consider the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions in the fully resonant case (absence of the zero-mass term). We investigate conservation of small amplitude periodic-solutions for a large set measure of frequencies. In particular we show that there are infinitely many periodic solutions which continue the linear ones involving an arbitrary number of resonant modes, provided the corresponding frequencies are large enough and close enough to each other (wave packets with large wave number).
We propose a conjecture for long time Strichartz estimates on generic (non-rectangular) flat tori. We proceed to partially prove it in dimension 2. Our arguments involve on the one hand Weyl bounds; and on the other hands bounds on the number of solutions of Diophantine problems.
We consider time-dependent Schroedinger equations in one dimension with double well potential and an external nonlinear perturbation. If the initial state belongs to the eigenspace spanned by the eigenvectors associated to the two lowest eigenvalues then, in the semiclassical limit, we show that the reduction of the time-dependent equation to a 2-mode equation gives the dominant term of the solution with a precise estimate of the error. By means of this stability result we are able to prove the destruction of the beating motion for large enough nonlinearity.
We consider the stationary solutions for a class of Schroedinger equations with a symmetric double-well potential and a nonlinear perturbation. Here, in the semiclassical limit we prove that the reduction to a finite-mode approximation give the stationary solutions, up to an exponentially small term, and that symmetry-breaking bifurcation occurs at a given value for the strength of the nonlinear term. The kind of bifurcation picture only depends on the non-linearity power. We then discuss the stability/instability properties of each branch of the stationary solutions. Finally, we consider an e…
Given a one dimensional perturbed Schroedinger operator H=-(d/dx)^2+V(x) we consider the associated wave operators W_+, W_- defined as the strong L^2 limits as s-> \pm\infty of the operators e^{isH} e^{-isH_0} We prove that the wave operators are bounded operators on L^p for all 1<p<\infty, provided (1+|x|)^2 V(x) is integrable, or else (1+|x|)V(x) is integrable and 0 is not a resonance. For p=\infty we obtain an estimate in terms of the Hilbert transform. Some applications to dispersive estimates for equations with variable rough coefficients are given.
We establish a dispersive estimate (with a decay of 1/t), valid for all times, for the Schroedinger evolution on a non-compact 2-dimensional manifold with a trapped geodesic.
We consider a non-resonant system of finitely many bilinear Schroedinger equations with discrete spectrum driven by the same scalar control. We prove that this system can approximately track any given system of trajectories of density matrices, up to the phase of the coordinates. The result is valid both for bounded and unbounded Schroedinger operators. The method used relies on finite-dimensional control techniques applied to Lie groups. We provide also an example showing that no approximate tracking of both modulus and phase is possible
We consider 2-dimensional Schrödinger operator with the non-degenerating magnetic field and we discuss spectral asymptotics with the remainder estimate $o(μ^{-1}h^{-1})$ or better. We also consider 3-dimensional Schrödinger operator with the non-degenerating magnetic field and we discuss spectral asymptotics with the remainder estimate $o(μ^{-1}h^{-1})$ or better. We also consider generalized Schrödinger-Pauli operator in the same framework albeit with $μh\ge 1$ and derive spectral asymptotics with the remainder estimate up to $O(h^{-1}|\log h|)$ and with the principal part $\asymp μh^{-2}$.
The theory of group classification of differential equations is analyzed, substantially extended and enhanced based on the new notions of conditional equivalence group and normalized class of differential equations. Effective new techniques are proposed. Using these, we exhaustively describe admissible point transformations in classes of nonlinear (1+1)-dimensional Schroedinger equations, in particular, in the class of nonlinear (1+1)-dimensional Schroedinger equations with modular nonlinearities and potentials and some subclasses thereof. We then carry out a complete group classification in t…
A slightly modified variant of the cubic periodic one-dimensional nonlinear Schroedinger equation is shown to admit weak solutions for all initial data in certain function spaces wider than L^2. These solutions depend uniformly continuously on the initial data, in the norms considered. The solutions are constructed as sums of infinite series of multilinear operators applied to initial data; no fixed point argument or energy inequality are used. In a companion paper we have shown that weak solutions in these same function spaces are however not unique.
The aim of the paper is to derive spectral estimates on the eigenvalue moments of the magnetic Schroedinger operators defined on the two-dimensional disk with a radially symmetric magnetic field and radially symmetric electric potential.
In this paper I prove a L^p-L^p' estimate for the solutions of the one-dimensional Schroedinger equation with a potential in L^1_gamma where in the generic case gamma > 3/2 and in the exceptional case (i.e. when there is a half-bound state of zero energy) gamma > 5/2. I use this estimate to construct the scattering operator for the nonlinear Schroedinger equation with a potential. I prove moreover, that the low-energy limit of the scattering operator uniquely determines the potential and the nonlinearity using a method that allows as well for the reconstruction of the potential and of the nonl…
Consider a regular $d$-dimensional metric tree $Γ$ with root $o$. Define the Schroedinger operator $-Δ- V$, where $V$ is a non-negative, symmetric potential, on $Γ$, with Neumann boundary conditions at $o$. Provided that $V$ decays like $x^{-γ}$ at infinity, where $1 < γ\leq d \leq 2, γ\neq 2$, we will determine the weak coupling behavior of the bottom of the spectrum of $-Δ- V$. In other words, we will describe the asymptotical behavior of $\inf σ(-Δ- αV)$ as $α\to 0+$
For one-dimensional Schroedinger operators with complex-valued potentials, we construct pseudomodes corresponding to large pseudoeigenvalues. Our (non-semi-classical) approach results in substantial progress in achieving optimal conditions and conclusions as well as in covering a wide class of previously inaccessible potentials, including discontinuous ones.
We consider 2- and 3-dimensional Schrödinger or generalized Schrödinger-Pauli operators with the non-degenerating magnetic field in the open domain under certain non-degeneracy assumptions we derive pointwise spectral asymptotics. We also consider asymptotics of some related expressions (see below). For all asymptotics loops rather than periodic trajectories play important role.
We show that the number of symmetry operators of order not higher that q of the nonstationary n-dimensional (n=1,2,3,4) Schroedinger equation (SE) with nonvanishing potentials is finite and does not exceed that of SE with zero potentials for arbitrary q=0,1,2,... . This result is applied for the determination of the general form of time dependance of the symmetry operators of SE with time-independant potentials.
In this paper, we study the discrete cubic nonlinear Schroedinger lattice under Hamiltonian perturbations. First we develop a complete isospectral theory relevant to the hyperbolic structures of the lattice without perturbations. In particular, Backlund-Darboux transformations are utilized to generate heteroclinic orbits and Melnikov vectors. Then we give coordinate-expressions for persistent invariant manifolds and Fenichel fibers for the perturbed lattice. Finally based upon the above machinery, existence of codimension 2 transversal homoclinic tubes is established through a Melnikov type ca…
