Abstract

In Quantum Hydro-Dynamics the following problem is relevant: let (ρ,Λ)H1(Rd)×L2(Rd,Rd)(\sqrt{\rho},\Lambda) \in H^1(\R^d) \times L^2(\R^d,\R^d) be a finite energy hydrodynamics state, i.e. Λ=0\Lambda = 0 when ρ=0\rho = 0 and \begin{equation*} E = \int_{\R^d} \frac{1}{2} \big| \nabla \sqrt{\rho} \big|^2 + \frac{1}{2} \Lambda^2 \mathcal L^d < \infty. \end{equation*} The question is under which conditions there exists a wave function ψH1(Rd,\C)\psi \in H^1(\R^d,\C) such that \begin{equation*} \sqrt{\rho} = |\psi|, \quad J = \sqrt{\rho} \Lambda = \Im \big( \bar \psi \nabla \psi). \end{equation*} The second equation gives for ψ=ρw\psi = \sqrt{\rho} w smooth, w=1|w| = 1, that iΛ=ρwˉwi \Lambda = \sqrt{\rho} \bar w \nabla w. Interpreting ρLd\rho \mathcal L^d as a measure in the metric space Rd\R^d, this question can be stated in generality as follows: given metric measure space (X,d,μ)(X,d,\mu) and a cotangent vector field vL2(TX)v \in L^2(T^* X), is there a function wH1(μ,S1)w \in H^1(\mu,\mathbb S^1) such that \begin{equation*} dw = i w v. \end{equation*} %dw = i w v?Weshowthatundersomeassumptionsonthemetricmeasurespace? We show that under some assumptions on the metric measure space (X,d,\mu)(conditionswhichareverifiedonRiemannmanifoldswiththemeasure (conditions which are verified on Riemann manifolds with the measure \mu = \rho \mathrm{Vol}ormoregenerallyonnonbranching or more generally on non-branching MCP(K,N)),weshowthatthenecessaryandsufficientconditionsfortheexistenceof), we show that the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of w is that (in the case of differentiable manifold) \begin{equation*} \int v(\gamma(t)) \cdot \dot \gamma (t) dt \in 2\pi \Z \end{equation*} for \pia.e.-a.e. \gamma,where, where \piisatestplansupportedonclosedcurves.Thisconditiongeneralizestheconditionsthatthevorticityisquantized.Wealsogivearepresentationofeverypossiblesolution.Inparticular,wededucethatthewavefunction is a test plan supported on closed curves. This condition generalizes the conditions that the vorticity is quantized. We also give a representation of every possible solution. In particular, we deduce that the wave function \psi = \sqrt{\rho} wisin is in W^{1,2}(X)whenever whenever \sqrt{\rho} \in W^{1,2}(X)$.
