Non-linear Schrödinger Equations, Separation and Symmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the symmetry properties of hierarchies of non-linear Schrödinger equations, introduced in [1], which describe non-interacting systems in which tensor product wave-functions evolve by independent evolution of the factors (the separation property). We show that there are obstructions to lifting symmetries existing at a certain number of particles to higher numbers. Such obstructions vanish for particles without internal degrees of freedom and the usual space-time symmetries. For particles with internal degrees of freedom, such as spin, these obstructions are present and their circumvention requires a choice of a new term in the equation for each particle number. A Lie-algebra approach for non-linear theories is developed.

Symmetry group, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation
In this paper Lie point symmetries, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation are investigated. First of all Lie symmetries are obtained by using the general method based on invariance condition of a system of differential equations under a prolonged vector field. Then the structure of symmetry ...
متن کاملLax pair and super-Yangian symmetry of the non-linear super-Schrödinger equation
We consider a version of the non-linear Schrödinger equation with M bosons and N fermions. We first solve the classical and quantum versions of this equation, using a super-Zamolodchikov-Faddeev (ZF) algebra. Then we prove that the hierarchy associated to this model admits a super-Yangian Y (gl(M |N)) symmetry. We exhibit the corresponding (classical and quantum) Lax pairs. Finally, we construc...
متن کاملApplication of the Orbits Method to Integration of Linear Differential Equations with Non-Commutative Symmetries
Commutative algebra of symmetries is not a sufficient condition for the separation of variables. It is necessary for the solvability of system (2) that operators Yμ must meet additional requirements [2]. Let linear differential equation (1) allow a non-Abelian symmetry group G. We shall now investigate the most efficient way how the non-Abelian symmetry group can be used for the integration of ...
متن کاملNonlinear Schrödinger Equations for Identical Particles and the Separation Property
We investigate the separation property for hierarchies of Schrödinger operators for identical particles. We show that such hierarchies of translation invariant second order differential operators are necessarily linear. A weakened form of the separation property, related to a strong form of cluster decomposition, allows for homogeneous hierarchies of nonlinear differential operators. Some conne...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behavior of Solutions to Schrödinger Equations near an Isolated Singularity of the Electromagnetic Potential
Asymptotics of solutions to Schrödinger equations with singular magnetic and electric potentials is investigated. By using a Almgren type monotonicity formula, separation of variables, and an iterative Brezis-Kato type procedure, we describe the exact behavior near the singularity of solutions to linear and semilinear (critical and subcritical) elliptic equations with an inverse square electric...
