Global attraction to solitary waves for Klein-Gordon equation with mean field interaction
We consider a U(1)-invariant nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in dimension one
or larger, self-interacting via the mean field mechanism. We analyze the
long-time asymptotics of finite energy solutions and prove that, under certain
generic assumptions, each solution converges (as time goes to infinity) to the
two-dimensional set of all ``nonlinear eigenfunctions'' of the form
\phi(x)e\sp{-i\omega t}. This global attraction is caused by the nonlinear
energy transfer from lower harmonics to the continuous spectrum and subsequent
dispersive radiation
On linear stability of crystals in the Schroedinger-Poisson model
We consider the Schr\"odinger--Poisson--Newton equations for crystals with a
cubic lattice and one ion per cell. We linearize this dynamics at the ground
state and introduce a novel class of the ion charge densities which provide the
stability of the linearized dynamics. This is the first result on linear
stability for crystals.
Our key result is the {\it energy positivity} for the Bloch generators of the
linearized dynamics under a Wiener-type condition on the ion charge density. We
also assume an additional condition which cancels the negative contribution
caused by electrostatic instability.
The proof of the energy positivity relies on a special factorization of the
corresponding Hamilton functional. We show that the energy positivity can fail
if the additional condition breaks down while the Wiener condition holds.
The Bloch generators are nonselfadjoint (and even nonsymmetric) Hamilton
operators. We diagonalize these generators using our theory of spectral
resolution of the Hamilton ope\-rators {\it with positive definite energy}
\ci{KK2014a,KK2014b}. Using this spectral resolution, we establish the
stability of the linearized crystal dynamics.Comment: 23 page
