The main result of this paper is the proof of convergence of the corresponding BBGKY hierarchy to a GP hierarchy in the spaces introduced in our previous work on the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for GP hierarchies, \\cite{chpa2,chpa3,chpa4}, which are inspired by the solutions spaces based on space-time norms introduced by Klainerman and Machedon in \\cite{klma}. We note that in $d=3$, this has been a well-known open problem in the field. While our results do not assume factorization of the solutions, consideration of factorized solutions yields a new derivation of the cubic, defocusing nonlinear Schr\\\"odinger equation (NLS) in $d=3$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-02-22T05:50:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q55", "81V70" ], "keywords": [ "gross-pitaevskii hierarchy", "manybody dynamics", "spacetime norms", "cubic nls", "derivation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 44, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014AnHP...15..543C" } } }
