We consider constrained partial differential equations of hyperbolic type with a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$, which turn parabolic in the limit case, i.e., for $\varepsilon=0$. The well-posedness of the resulting systems is discussed…
We derive semiclassical neutrino-electron transport equations in the collisionless (Vlasov) limit from the coupled Dirac equations, incorporating the charged and neutral weak current-current as well as electromagnetic interactions. A…
We extend a theory of first order hbar corrections to Gutzwiller's trace formula for systems with a smooth potential to systems with discrete symmetries and, as an example, apply the method to the two-dimensional hydrogen atom in a uniform…
We consider the dynamics of $N$ interacting bosons in three dimensions which are strongly confined in one or two directions. We analyze the two cases where the interaction potential $w$ is rescaled by either $N^{-1}w(\cdot)$ or…
We present several recent results concerning the transition between quantum and classical mechanics, in the situation where the underlying dynamical system has an hyperbolic behaviour. The special role of invariant manifolds will be…
We extend the inverse spectral transform for the conservative Camassa-Holm flow on the line to a class of initial data that requires strong decay at one endpoint but only mild boundedness-type conditions at the other endpoint. The latter…
We establish a semiclassical trace formula in a general framework of microhyperbolic hermitian systems of $h$-pseudodifferential operators, and apply it to the study of the spectral shift function associated to a pair of selfadjoint…
We consider the lattice dynamics in the half-space. The initial data are random according to a probability measure which enforces slow spatial variation on the linear scale $\varepsilon^{-1}$. We establish two time regimes. For times of…
While detailed information about the semiclassics for single-particle systems is available, much less is known about the connection between quantum and classical dynamics for many-body systems. As an example, we focus on spin chains which…
In Dirac materials, the low energy excitations obey the relativistic Dirac equation. This dependence implies that the electrons are exposed to strong spin-orbit coupling. Hence, real spin conservation is believed to be violated in Dirac…
We show that for weakly dependent random variables the relative entropy functional satisfies an approximate version of the standard tensorization property which holds in the independent case. As a corollary we obtain a family of…
We study the motion of a superfluid vortex in condensates having different background density profiles, ranging from parabolic to uniform. The resulting effective point-vortex model for a generic power-law potential $\propto r^k$ can be…
The inverse Henderson problem refers to the determination of the pair potential which specifies the interactions in an ensemble of classical particles in continuous space, given the density and the equilibrium pair correlation function of…
This work is concerned with the quasineutral limit of the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equation, for initial data close to stationary homogeneous profiles. Our objective is threefold: first, we provide a proof of the fact that the formal…
The semirelativistic Hamiltonian H = \beta\sqrt{m^2 + p^2} + V(r), where V(r) is a central potential in R^3, is concave in p^2 and convex in p. This fact enables us to obtain complementary energy bounds for the discrete spectrum of H. By…
The small dispersion limit of the focusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation with periodic initial conditions is studied analytically and numerically. First, through a comprehensive set of numerical simulations, it is demonstrated that…
We report Hartree-Fock (HF) based pseudopotentials suitable for plane-wave calculations. Unlike typical effective core potentials, the present pseudopotentials are finite at the origin and exhibit rapid convergence in a plane-wave basis;…
We study the semi-classical trace formula at a critical energy level for a Schr\"odinger operator on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. We assume here that the potential has a totally degenerate critical point associated to a local maximum. The main result,…
We study the behavior of atomistic models in general dimensions under uniaxial tension and investigate the system for critical fracture loads. We rigorously prove that in the discrete-to-continuum limit the minimal energy satisfies a…
We propose a novel reformulation of the Vlasov-Amp{\`e}re equations for plasmas. This reformulation exposes discrete symmetries to achieve simultaneous conservation of mass, momentum, and energy; preservation of Gauss's law involution;…
