We deduce that minimizers are precisely the planar dark solitons when the length of the transverse direction is less than a critical value, and that they are genuinely two-dimensional solutions otherwise. The proof of the existence of minimizers is based on the compactness of minimizing sequences, relying on a new symmetrization argument that is well-suited to the periodic setting.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-07-12T08:57:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q55", "35J20", "35C07", "37K05", "35C08", "35A01", "37K40" ], "keywords": [ "gross-pitaevskii equation", "minimizing travelling waves", "construction", "finite energy travelling waves", "minimizers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
