The first is to find their Lie point symmetries. The second, as an application of the first, is to investigate an approximate solution corresponding to widely separated lumps of probability. The lumps are found to move like point particles under a mutual inverse-square law of attraction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-09-28T16:56:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lie point symmetries", "schrödinger-newton equations", "geodesic approximation", "mutual inverse-square law", "point particles" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Nonlinearity", "year": 2006, "month": "Jul", "volume": 19, "number": 7, "pages": 1507 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006Nonli..19.1507R" } } }
