Soliton dynamics for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with magnetic field.(English)Zbl 1179.81066

Summary: The semiclassical regime of a nonlinear focusing Schrödinger equation in presence of non-constant electric and magnetic potentials $$V, A$$ is studied by taking as initial datum the ground state solution of an associated autonomous stationary equation. The concentration curve of the solutions is a parameterization of the solutions of the second order ordinary equation $${\ddot x=-\nabla V(x)-\dot x\times B(x)}$$, where $${B=\nabla\times A}$$ is the magnetic field of a given magnetic potential $$A$$.
