We study the evolution of a N-body weakly interacting system of Bosons. Our work forms an extension of our previous paper I, in which we derived a second-order correction to a mean-field evolution law for coherent states in the presence of…
In this paper, we consider the Hamiltonian evolution of N weakly interacting Bosons. Assuming triple collisions, its mean field approximation is given by a quintic Hartree equation. We construct a second order correction to the mean field…

In this paper, we introduce a novel method for deriving higher order corrections to the mean-field description of the dynamics of interacting bosons. More precisely, we consider the dynamics of $N$ $d$-dimensional bosons for large $N$. The…
We provide an error bound for approximating the time evolution of N bosons by a generalized nonlinear Hartree equation. The bosons are assumed to interact via permutation symmetric bounded many-particle potentials and the initial…
We consider a large number of Bosons with interaction potential $v_N(x)=N^{3 \beta}v(N^{\beta}x)$. In earlier papers we considered a set of equations for the condensate $\phi$ and pair excitation function $k$ and proved that they provide a…
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a system of $N$ weakly interacting bosons with singular three-body interactions in three dimensions. By assuming factorized initial data $\Psi_{N,0}=\varphi_{0}^{\otimes N}$ and triple…
We study the norm approximation to the Schr\"odinger dynamics of $N$ bosons in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with an interaction potential of the form $N^{3\beta-1}w(N^{\beta}(x-y))$. Assuming that in the initial state the particles outside of the…
Inspired by the works of Rodnianski and Schlein and Wu, we derive a new nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation that describes a second-order correction to the usual tensor product (mean-field) approximation for the Hamiltonian evolution of a…
We develop a theory of non-relativistic bosons in two spatial dimensions with a weak short range attractive interaction. In the limit as the range of the interaction becomes small, there is an ultra-violet divergence in the problem. We…
A regular approach to accounting for initial correlations, which allows to go beyond the unrealistic random phase (initial product state) approximation in deriving the evolution equations, is suggested. An exact homogeneous equation for a…
The exact evolution of a system coupled to a complex environment can be described by a stochastic mean-field evolution of the reduced system density. The formalism developed in Ref. [D.Lacroix, Phys. Rev. E77, 041126 (2008)] is illustrated…
This note shows that, with a little modification, the results in arXiv:0904.0158 hold in the 3-body interactions case.
The validity of the approximations done in the mean field description of the quasi-elastic excitation of medium-heavy nuclei is discussed. A test of the reliability of the plane wave Born approximation is presented. The uncertainty related…
A relativistic covariant one boson exchange model, previously applied to describe elastic nucleon-nucleon scattering, is extended to study $\eta$ production in NN collisions. The transition amplitude for the elementary BN->$\eta$N process…
Precision measurements in allowed nuclear beta decays and neutron decay are reviewed and analyzed both within the Standard Model and looking for new physics. The analysis incorporates the most recent experimental and theoretical…
We study the time evolution of the Nelson model in a mean-field limit in which N non-relativistic bosons weakly couple (w.r.t. the particle number) to a positive or zero mass quantized scalar field. Our main result is the derivation of the…
Within the lowest-order Born approximation, we present an exact calculation of the time dynamics of the spin-boson model in the Ohmic regime. We observe non-Markovian effects at zero temperature that scale with the system-bath coupling…
We consider a system of N bosons interacting through a two-body potential with, possibly, Coulomb-type singularities. We show that the difference between the many-body Schr\"odinger evolution in the mean-field regime and the effective…
