Boson star equation: existence results and speed of propagation
Catégorie d'évènement : Groupe de Travail Équations aux Derivées Partielles et Applications (Nancy) Date/heure : 24 mars 2026 09:15-11:45 Lieu : Salle de conférences Nancy Oratrice ou orateur : Viviana GRASSELLI Résumé :We will first discuss the existence of a solution to this nonlinear equation, which we obtain for a large class of interactions. We will then present dynamical properties of this solution. Since the equation is dispersive, the support of the solution spreads out in space and we will derive properties that describe how this spreading happens, in particular regarding the speed of propagation of the support. We will prove a maximal velocity bound, implying that the support can not propagate faster than the speed of light, and we will conclude by giving a minimal velocity bound, which ensures that given a certain velocity at time t=0 the solution can not slow down.
