Gross–Pitaevskii limit conjecture for combined two- and three-body interactions

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let HNCombH_N^{\rm Comb} be the Hamiltonian with two-body potential WW at scaling parameter β=1\beta=1 and three-body potential VV. Let eGPComb(b1,b2)e^{\rm Comb}_{\rm GP}(b_1,b_2) be the minimum of the combined Gross–Pitaevskii functional, let b(W)b(W) be the scattering energy of WW, and let bM(V)b_{\mathcal M}(V) be the three-body scattering parameter. Then Combined-interaction Gross–Pitaevskii conjecture.

lim⁡N→∞inf⁡σ(HNComb)N=eGPComb(b(W),bM(V)).\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{\inf\sigma(H_N^{\rm Comb})}{N}=e^{\rm Comb}_{\rm GP}\left(b(W),b_{\mathcal M}(V)\right).

The case β=1\beta=1 is challenging because both interactions are critically scaled, so correlations at both the two- and three-body levels contribute to the leading order. The limit remains open.
