Asymptotic Stability of Harmonic Maps under the Schrödinger Flow

چکیده
For Schrödinger maps fromR2×R+ to the 2-sphere S2, it is not known if finite energy solutions can form singularities (blow up) in finite time. We consider equivariant solutions with energy near the energy of the two-parameter family of equivariant harmonic maps. We prove that if the topological degree of the map is at least four, blowup does not occur, and global solutions converge (in a dispersive sense, i.e., scatter) to a fixed harmonic map as time tends to infinity. The proof uses, among other things, a time-dependent splitting of the solution, the generalized Hasimoto transform, and Strichartz (dispersive) estimates for a certain two space–dimensional linear Schrödinger equation whose potential has critical power spatial singularity and decay. Along the way, we establish an energy-space local well-posedness result for which the existence time is determined by the length scale of a nearby harmonic map.

We consider the Landau-Lifshitz equations of ferromagnetism (including the harmonic map heat-flow and Schrödinger flow as special cases) for degree m equivariant maps from R2 to S2. If m ≥ 3, we prove that near-minimal energy solutions converge to a harmonic map as t → ∞ (asymptotic stability), extending previous work (Gustafson et al., Duke Math J 145(3), 537–583, 2008) down to degree m = 3.

For the Schrödinger flow from R2 × R+ to the 2-sphere S2, it is not known if finite energy solutions can blow up in finite time. We study equivariant solutions whose energy is near the energy of the family of equivariant harmonic maps. We prove that such solutions remain close to the harmonic maps until the blowup time (if any), and that they blow up if and only if the length scale of the neare...

متن کاملStability of Stationary Solutions of the Schrödinger-langevin Equation
The stability properties of a class of dissipative quantum mechanical systems are investigated. The nonlinear stability and asymptotic stability of stationary states (with zero and nonzero dissipation respectively) is investigated by Liapunov’s direct method. The results are demonstrated by numerical calculations on the example of the damped harmonic oscillator.
