On the Klainerman-Machedon conjecture for the quantum BBGKY hierarchy with self-interaction (Q294188): Difference between revisions

Summary: We consider the 3D quantum BBGKY hierarchy which corresponds to the \(N\)-particle Schrödinger equation. We assume the pair interaction is \(N^{3\beta - 1} V (B^\beta)\). For the interaction parameter \(\beta \in (0, 2/3)\), we prove that, provided an energy bound holds for solutions to the BBKGY hierarchy, the \(N \to \infty\) limit points satisfy the space-time bound conjectured by \textit{S. Klainerman} and \textit{M. Machedon} [Commun. Math. Phys. 279, No. 1, 169--185 (2008; Zbl 1147.37034)] in 2008. The energy bound was proven to hold for \(\beta \in (0, 3/5)\) in [\textit{L. Erdős} et al., Invent. Math. 167, No. 3, 515--614 (2007; Zbl 1123.35066)]. This allows, in the case \(\beta \in (0, 3/5)\), for the application of the Klainerman-Machedon uniqueness theorem and hence implies that the \(N \to \infty\) limit of BBGKY is uniquely determined as a tensor product of solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation when the \(N\)-body initial data is factorized. The first result in this direction in 3D was obtained by \textit{T. Chen} and \textit{N. Pavlović} [Ann. Henri Poincaré 15, No. 3, 543--588 (2014; Zbl 1338.35406)] for \(\beta \in (0, 1/4)\) and subsequently by us [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 210, No. 2, 365--408 (2013; Zbl 1294.35132)] for \(\beta \in (0, 2/7)\). We build upon our approach but apply frequency localized Klainerman-Machedon collapsing estimates and the endpoint Strichartz estimate in the estimate of the ``potential part'' to extend the range to \(\beta \in (0, 2/3)\). Overall, this provides an alternative approach to the mean-field program by Erdős et al. [loc. cit.], whose uniqueness proof is based upon Feynman diagram combinatorics.
