Abstract

The nonlinear Hartree equation (NLH) in the Heisenberg picture admits steady states of the form γf=f(Δ)\gamma_f=f(-\Delta) representing quantum states of infinitely many particles. In this article, we consider the time evolution of perturbations from a large class of such steady states via the three-dimensional NLH. We prove that if the interaction potential ww has finite measure and initial states have finite relative entropy, then solutions preserve the relative free energy, and they exist globally in time. This result extends the important work of Lewin and Sabin [arXiv:1310.0603] to singular interaction cases.
