Stable directions for small nonlinear Dirac standing waves

چکیده
Abstract: We prove that for a Dirac operator, with no resonance at thresholds nor eigenvalue at thresholds, the propagator satisfies propagation and dispersive estimates. When this linear operator has only two simple eigenvalues sufficiently close to each other, we study an associated class of nonlinear Dirac equations which have stationary solutions. As an application of our decay estimates, we show that these solutions have stable directions which are tangent to the subspaces associated with the continuous spectrum of the Dirac operator. This result is the analogue, in the Dirac case, of a theorem by Tsai and Yau about the Schrödinger equation. To our knowledge, the present work is the first mathematical study of the stability problem for a nonlinear Dirac equation.

On the Asymptotic Stability of Small Nonlinear Dirac Standing Waves in a Resonant Case
We study the behavior of perturbations of small nonlinear Dirac standing waves. We assume that the linear Dirac operator of reference H = Dm + V has only two double eigenvalues and that degeneracies are due to a symmetry of H (theorem of Kramers). In this case, we can build a small 4-dimensional manifold of stationary solutions tangent to the first eigenspace of H . Then we assume that a resona...
متن کاملOn stability of standing waves of nonlinear Dirac equations
We consider the stability problem for standing waves of nonlinear Dirac models. Under a suitable definition of linear stability, and under some restriction on the spectrum, we prove at the same time orbital and asymptotic stability. We are not able to get the full result proved in [26] for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, because of the strong indefiniteness of the energy.
متن کاملKapitza-Dirac diffraction without standing waves: diffraction without a grating?
We discuss electron diffraction from two counterpropagating light waves with two different frequencies. We show that, even though these waves do not form a standing wave, electron diffraction similar to the conventional Kapitza-Dirac effect, i.e., scattering on a standing wave, is still possible. The nonlinear response of the electron to the laser fields creates a stationary diffraction grating...

Based on quantum hydrodynamics theory (QHD), the propagation of nonlinear quantum dust-ion acoustic (QDIA) solitary waves in a collision-less, unmagnetized four component quantum plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, ions and stationary negatively charged dust grains with dust charge variation is investigated using reductive perturbation method. The charging current to the dust grains ca...
متن کاملInstability of bound states of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a Dirac potential
We study analytically and numerically the stability of the standing waves for a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a point defect and a power type nonlinearity. A main difficulty is to compute the number of negative eigenvalues of the linearized operator around the standing waves, and it is overcome by a perturbation method and continuation arguments. Among others, in the case of a repulsive d...
