Abstract

In the present contribution we consider a class of Schroedinger equations containing complex nonlinearities, describing systems with conserved norm ψ2|\psi|^2 and minimally coupled to an abelian gauge field. We introduce a nonlinear transformation which permits the linearization of the source term in the evolution equations for the gauge field, and transforms the nonlinear Schroedinger equations in another one with real nonlinearities. We show that this transformation can be performed either on the gauge field AμA_\mu or, equivalently, on the matter field ψ\psi. Since the transformation does not change the quantities ψ2|\psi|^2 and FμνF_{\mu\nu}, it can be considered a generalization of the gauge transformation of third kind introduced some years ago by other authors.
