In this thesis we consider a magnetic Schrodinger inverse problem over a compact domain contained in an infinite cylindrical manifold. We show that, under certain conditions on the electromagnetic potentials, we can recover the magnetic field from boundary measurements in a constructive way. A fundamental tool for this procedure is a global Carleman estimate for the magnetic Schrodinger operator. We prove this by conjugating the magnetic operator essentially into the Laplacian, and using the Carleman estimates for it proven by Kenig-Salo-Uhlmann in the anisotropic setting, see [KSU11a]. The conjugation is achieved through pseudodifferential operators over the cylinder, for which we develop the necessary results. The main motivations to attempt this question are the following results concerning the magnetic Schrodinger operator: first, the solution to the uniqueness problem in the cylindrical setting in [DSFKSU09], and, second, the reconstruction algorithm in the Euclidean setting from [Sal06]. We will also borrow ideas from the reconstruction of the electric potential in the cylindrical setting from [KSU11b]. These two new results answer partially the Carleman estimate problem (Question 4.3.) proposed in [Sal13] and the reconstruction for the magnetic Schrodinger operator mentioned in the introduction of [KSU11b]. To our knowledge, these are the first global Carleman estimates and reconstruction procedure for the magnetic Schrodinger operator available in the cylindrical setting.
We prove a nonlinear Poisson type formula for the Schrodinger group. Such a formula had been derived in a previous paper by the authors, as a consequence of the study of the asymptotic behavior of nonlinear wave operators for small data. In this note, we propose a direct proof, and extend the range allowed for the power of the nonlinearity to the set of all short range nonlinearities. Moreover, energy-critical nonlinearities are allowed.
We study the inverse problem of determining the magnetic field and the electric potential entering the Schrodinger equation in an infinite 3D cylindrical domain, by Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. The cylindrical domain we consider is a closed waveguide in the sense that the cross section is a bounded domain of the plane. We prove that the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map determines uniquely, and even Holder-stably, the magnetic field induced by the magnetic potential and the electric potential. Moreover, if the maximal strength of both the magnetic field and the electric potential, is attained in a fixed bounded subset of the domain, we extend the above results by taking finitely extended boundary observations of the solution, only.
In this article, we study stability estimates when recovering magnetic fields and electric potentials in a simply connected open subset in $R^n$ with $n geq 3$, from measurements on open subsets of its boundary. This inverse problem is associated with a magnetic Schrodinger operator. Our estimates are quantitati
In this paper we prove stable determination of an inverse boundary value problem associated to a magnetic Schrodinger operator assuming that the magnetic and electric potentials are essentially bounded and the magnetic potentials admit a Holder-type modulus of continuity in the sense of $L^2$.
The aim of this paper is to study, in dimensions 2 and 3, the pure-power non-linear Schrodinger equation with an external uniform magnetic field included. In particular, we derive a general criteria on the initial data and the power of the non-linearity so that the corresponding solution blows up in finite time, and we show that the time for blow up to occur decreases as the strength of the magnetic field increases. In addition, we also discuss some observations about Strichartz estimates in 2 dimensions for the Mehler kernel, as well as similar blow-up results for the non-linear Pauli equation.
