Abstract: We consider the dynamics of N bosons in three dimensions. We assume the pair interaction is given by . By studying an associated many-body wave operator, we introduce a BBGKY hierarchy which takes into account all of the interparticle singular correlation structures developed by the many-body evolution from the beginning. Assuming energy conditions on the N-body wave function, for , we derive the Gross-Pitaevskii hierarchy with 2-body interaction. In particular, we establish that, in the Nightarrowinfty limit, all k-body scattering processes vanishes if kgeqslant3 and thus provide a direct answer to a question raised by Erd"{o}s, Schlein, and Yau in [31]. Moreover, this new BBGKY hierarchy shares the limit points with the ordinary BBGKY hierarchy strongly for and weakly for . Since this new BBGKY hierarchy converts the problem from a two-body estimate to a weaker three body estimate for which we have the estimates to achieve , it then allows us to prove that all limit points of the ordinary BBGKY hierarchy satisfy the space-time bound conjectured by Klainerman and Machedon in [47] for .
