Title
The Schrödinger-Poisson System on the Sphere
Abstract
We study the Schrodinger-Poisson system on the unit sphere S(2) of R(3), modeling the quantum transport of charged particles confined on a sphere by an external potential. Our first results concern the Cauchy problem for this system. We prove that this problem is regularly well-posed on every H(s)(S(2)) with s > 0, and not uniformly well-posed on L(2)(S(2)). The proof of well-posedness relies on multilinear Strichartz estimates, and the proof of ill-posedness relies on the construction of a counterexample which concentrates exponentially on a closed geodesic. In a second part of the paper, we prove that this model can be obtained as the limit of the three-dimensional Schrodinger-Poisson system, singularly perturbed by an external potential that confines the particles in the vicinity of the sphere.
