Abstract: We consider the dynamics of $N$ boson systems interacting through a pair potential $N^{-1}{V}_a(x_i-x_j)$ where $V_a(x)=a^{-3}V(x/a)$. We denote the solution to the $N$-particle Schr"odinger equation by $ps{i}_{N,t}$. Recall that the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation is a nonlinear Schr"odinger equation and the GP hierarchy is an infinite BBGKY hierarchy of equations so that if $u_t$ solves the GP equation, then the family of $k$-particle density matrices $otime{s}_k{u}_t,kge1$ solves the GP hierarchy. Under the assumption that $a=N^{-eps}$ for $0<eps<3/5$, we prove that as $Noinfty$ the limit points of the $k$-particle density matrices of $ps{i}_{N,t}$ are solutions of the GP hierarchy with the coupling constant in the nonlinear term of the GP equation given by $intV(x)dx$. The uniqueness of the solutions to this hierarchy remains an open question.
