Abstract: We study a nonlinear Schroedinger equation arising in the mean-field description of dipolar quantum gases. Under the assumption of sufficiently strong dipolar interactions, the existence of standing waves, and hence solitons, is proved together with some of their properties. This gives a rigorous argument for the possible existence of solitary waves in Bose-Einstein condensates, which originate solely due to the dipolar interaction between the particles.


The authors investigate the following three problems: (1) a nonlinear Schrödinger equation arising in the mean field description of dipolar quantum gases, (2) the existence of standing waves, and (3) the possible existence of solitary waves in Bose-Einstein condensates by the Fourier transform based on the paper of \textit{M. I. Weinstein} [Commun. Math. Phys. 87, 567--576 (1983; Zbl 0527.35023)].
