Abstract: We present a microscopic derivation of the defocusing two-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schr"odinger equation as a mean field equation starting from an interacting N-particle system of Bosons. We consider the interaction potential to be given either by , for any , or to be given by VN(x)=e2NV(eNx), for some spherical symmetric, positive and compactly supported W,VinLinfty(mathbbR2,mathbbR). In both cases we prove the convergence of the reduced density matrix corresponding to the exact time evolution to the projector onto the solution of the corresponding nonlinear Schr"odinger equation in trace norm. For the latter potential VN we show that it is crucial to take the microscopic structure of the condensate into account in order to obtain the correct dynamics.


The authors present microscopic derivations of the defocusing two-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the Gross-Pitaevskii equation starting from an interacting \(N\)-particle system of bosons. Two types of interaction potentials are considered. In both cases it is proved the convergence of the reduced density corresponding to the exact time evolution to the projector onto the solution of the corresponding nonlinear Schrödinger equation in trace norm.
