Segregation and symmetry breaking of strongly coupled two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in a harmonic trap
No full textWe study ground states of two-component condensates in a harmonic trap. We prove that in the strongly coupled and weakly interacting regime, the two components segregate while a symmetry breaking occurs. More precisely, we show that when the intercomponent coupling strength is very large and both intracomponent coupling strengths are small, each component is close to the positive or the negative part of a second eigenfunction of the harmonic oscillator in . As a result, the supports of the components approach complementary half-spaces, and they are not radially symmetric
A minimal interface problem arising from a two component Bose Einstein condensate via \G-convergence
No full textWe consider the energy modeling a two component Bose-Einstein condensate in the limit of strong coupling and strong segregation. We prove the -convergence to a perimeter minimization problem, with a weight given by the density of the condensate. In the case of equal mass for the two components, this leads to symmetry breaking for the ground state. The proof relies on a new formulation of the problem in terms of the total density and spin functions, which turns the energy into the sum of two weighted Cahn-Hilliard energies. Then, we use techniques coming from geometric measure theory to construct upper and lower bounds. In particular, we make use of the slicing technique introduced in Ambrosio-Tororelli (CPAM, 1990)
Study of theoretical models of Bose-Einstein condensates for different types of trappings and interactions
No full textCette thèse porte sur l étude mathématique de modèles théoriques des condensats de Bose-Einstein. On considère la fonctionnelle d énergie de Gross-Pitaevskii pour différents types de piégeages et d'interactions. On étudie des modèles de condensats à deux dimensions définis sur tout l'espace, en rotation et à plusieurs composants, ainsi qu'un modèle décrivant une particule chargée dans un milieu périodique bidimensionnel avec champ magnétique. Les outils mathématiques utilisés sont les équations aux dérivées partielles, l'analyse non linéaire, la théorie géométrique de la mesure, la théorie spectrale et l'analyse semi-classique. Les résultats principaux vont dans quatre directions. Le premier résultat établit la non existence de vortex dans la zone de faible densité d'un condensat en rotation sous-critique. Le deuxième résultat montre la brisure de symétrie et de la ségrégation d'un condensat a deux composants dans le régime de fort couplage et faible interaction. On résout aussi un problème de partition optimale spectrale associée à un opérateur de Schrôdinger dans le plan. On introduit un nouveau modèle de minimisation du périmètre pour l'étude d'un condensat à deux composants dans le régime de fort couplage et forte interaction. Le troisième résultat concerne la I-convergence de la fonctionnelle d'énergie d'un condensat a deux composants dans ce dernier régime. Le dernier résultat traite du spectre d'un opérateur de Schrödinger périodique magnétique dans un réseau de kagome.This PhD thesis is devoted to the mathematical study of theoretical models for Bose-Einstein condensates. We consider the Gross-Pitaevskii functional for several types of trapping potentials and interactions. We analyze models for two-dimensional condensates defined over all R2, under rotation and with several components. We also analyze a model for a charged particle in a two-dimensional periodic media under magnetic field. The mathematical tools employed are partial differential equations, nonlinear analysis, geometric measure theory, spectral theory and semi-classical analysis. They are four main results. The first one establishes the non existence of vortex in the low density zone of a condensate under subcritical rotation. The second result proves the segregation and the symmetry breaking of a two components condensate in the strongly coupled and weakly interacting regime. We also solve an optimal partition problem associated with a Schrödinger operator in R2. We introduce a new minimal perimeter model for the study of two components condensate in the strongly coupled and strongly interacting regime. The third result is about the I-convergence of the energy functional of a two-component condensate in this last regime. The last result concerns the spectrum of a magnetic periodical Schrödinger operator on the kagome lattice.VERSAILLES-BU Sciences et IUT (786462101) / SudocSudocFranceF
A minimal interface problem arising from a two component Bose–Einstein condensate via Γ -convergence
No full textWe consider the energy modeling a two component Bose–Einstein condensate in the limit of strong coupling and strong segregation. We prove the Γ -convergence to a perimeter minimization problem, with a weight given by the density of the condensate. In the case of equal mass for the two components, this leads to symmetry breaking for the ground state. The proof relies on a new formulation of the problem in terms of the total density and spin functions, which turns the energy into the sum of two weighted Cahn–Hilliard energies. Then, we use techniques coming from geometric measure theory to construct upper and lower bounds. In particular, we make use of the slicing technique introduced in Ambrosio and Tortorelli (Commun Pure Appl Math 43(8):999–1036, 1990)

On the low lying spectrum of the magnetic Schrödinger operator with kagome periodicity
No full textto appear in Reviews in Math. Phys.We study in a semiclassical regime a two-dimensional magnetic periodic Schrödinger operator. We first review some results for the square (Harper), triangular and hexagonal (case of the graphene) lattices. Then we study the case considered by Hou when the periodicity is given by a kagome lattice. We reduce the problem to the study of discrete and pseudodifferential operators and obtain pictures similar to Hofstadter's butterfly. We prove the existence of flat bands, which do not occur in the three previous cases

Chambers's formula for the graphene and the Hou model with kagome periodicity and applications.
Full text linkThe aim of this article is to prove that for the graphene model like for a model considered by the physicist Hou on a kagome lattice, there exists a formula which is similar to the one obtained by Chambers for the Harper model. As an application, we propose a semi-classical analysis of the spectrum of the Hou butterfly near a flat band
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
