    No full text
    Consider a Lagrangian of the form L(x, \dot{x}, q, \dot{q})=\frac{1}{2}(\dot{x}^2-x^2)+ \frac{1}{2}\dot{q]^2+(1+ \delta (x))V(q), \quad x, q \in \mathbb{R}. Assuming δ\delta bounded, VV periodic in qq with a strict global minimum at q=0q=0, it is shown for each φ(0,2π)\varphi \in(0, 2 \pi) the existence of a homoclinic solution satisfying \begin{align*} & \lim_{t \to - \infty} q(t)=0 \\ & \lim_{t \to + \infty} q(t)=2 \pi \\ & \lim_{t \to - \infty} |x(t)- R \cos t|=0 \\ & \lim_{t \to + \infty} |x(t)- R \cos (t+ \varphi)|=0. \end{align*

    Existence and asymptotics for self-dual periodic vortices of topological-type

    No full text
    We consider vortices of topological-type for a class of selfdual gauge models, with periodic boundary conditions and as the ratio of the vortex core size to the separation distance between vortex points (the scaling parameter) tends to zero. We use a gluing technique (shadowing lemma) for solutions to the corresponding semilinear elliptic equation on the plane, where the vortex points are periodically arranged. This approach is particularly convenient and natural for the study of the asymptotics as the scaling parameter tends to zero. In particular, we prove a factorization ansatz for multivortex solutions, up to an error which is exponentially small

    Uniqueness of topological solutions for a class of self-dual vortex theories

    No full text
    We study the solutions of topological type for a class of self-dual vortex theories in two dimensions. We consider the regime corresponding to the limit of small vortex core size with respect to the separation distance between vortices, namely as the scaling parameter δ>0\delta>0 tends to zero. Using a gluing technique for the corresponding nonlinear elliptic equation on the plane, with any number (finite or countable) of prescribed singular sources, we prove the existence of multi-vortex solutions which behave as a single vortex solution near each vortex point, up to an error exponentially small, as δ0\delta\to 0. Moreover, in the physically relevant cases, namely when the vortex points are either finite or periodically arranged in the plane, we prove that the multi-vortex solution satisfying a ‘topological condition' is unique, for δ>0\delta>0 sufficiently small

    Stationary solutions for the non-linear Hartree equation with a slowly varying potential

    No full text
    We consider the non-linear Hartree equation with a slowly varying external potential Vε and a short range, attractive two-body interaction W. We prove the existence of stationary solutions which are approximatively given by a superposition of several Hartree solitons with their center of mass positions behaving, at the leading order, as classical particles at rest in the background potential Vε

    Consider a Lagrangian of the form L(x,x˙,q,q˙)=12(x˙2x2)+12q˙2+(1+δ(x))V(q) L(x, \dot{x},q, \dot{q})=\frac{1}{2}(\dot{x}^2-x^2)+ \frac{1}{2}\dot{q}^2+(1+\delta (x))V(q) where xx,qRq \in \mathbb{R}. Assuming that δ\delta is bounded and VV, periodic in qq, is such that V(0)=0V′(0)=0, we prove existence of infinitely many solutions homoclinic to periodic orbits in the center manifold q=0q=0, q˙=0\dot{q}=0 of the corresponding system

    Multibump solutions homoclinic to periodic orbits of large energy in a center manifold

    No full text
    We consider the Lagrangian 12(x˙2ω2x2)+12q˙2+(1+δ(x))V(q)\frac{1}{2}(\dot{x}^2-\omega^2 x^2) + \frac{1}{2}\dot{q}^2 + (1+\delta(x))V(q) , VV 2π2 \pi-periodic and δ\delta bounded. The corresponding Euler–Lagrange equations have as the origin a saddle-centre stationary point whose (globally defined) centre manifold is foliated in periodic orbits. We prove that for ω\omega small enough there exist multi-bump solutions, of large energy and heteroclinic to periodic orbits in the centre manifold

    We consider the Lagrangian L(y1,y˙1,y2,y˙2,q,q˙)=1/2(y˙12omega12y12)+1/2(y˙22omega22y22)+1/2q˙2+(1+δ(y1,y2))V(q), L(y_1, \dot{y}_1, y_2, \dot{y}_2, q, \dot{q}) = 1/2(\dot{y}_1^2 - omega_1^2 y_1^2) + 1/2(\dot{y}_2^2 - omega_2^2 y_2^2) + 1/2 \dot{q}^2 + (1 + \delta(y_1, y_2))V(q), where VV is non-negative, periodic in qq and such that V(0)=V(0)=0V(0) = V'(0) = 0. We prove, using critical point theory, the existence of infinitely many solutions of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations which are asymptotic, as t \to \pm \infinity, to invariant tori in the center manifold of the origin, that is, to solutions of the form q(t)=0q(t) = 0, y1(t)=Rcos(ω1t+φ1)y_1(t) = R \cos(\omega_1 t + \varphi_1), y2(t)=Rcos(ω2t+φ2)y_2 (t) = R \cos(\omega_2 t + \varphi_2)

    Asymptotics for selfdual vortices on the torus and on the plane: a gluing technique

    No full text
    We consider multivortex solutions for the selfdual Abelian Higgs model, as the ratio of the vortex core size to the separation distance between vortex points (the scaling parameter) tends to zero. To this end, we use a gluing technique (a shadowing lemma) for solutions to the corresponding semilinear equation on the plane, allowing any number (finite or countable) of arbitrarily prescribed singular sources. Our approach is particularly convenient and natural for the study of the asymptotics. In particular, in the physically relevant case where the vortex points are either finite or periodically arranged in the plane, we prove that a frequently used factorization ansatz for multivortex solutions is rigorously satisfied, up to an error which is exponentially small
