It therefore converges to a function $u$, which is the unique integrable solution of the equation with $e$ fixed. \item In addition, we prove that $e\mapsto\rho(e)$ is continuous, and $\rho(0)=0$ and $\rho(\infty)=\infty$, which allows us to compute solutions for the problem at fixed $\rho$. This does not imply the uniqueness of the solution. \end{itemize} \vfill \eject \title{Asymptotics (sketch)} \vskip-10pt \begin{itemize} \item When $\rho$ is small, $e$ is small as well, so the solution $u$ is {\it not too far from} the solution of the scattering equation $$ (-\Delta+v)\varphi=v . $$ \item The energy of $\varphi$ is $$ \frac\rho 2\int dx\ (1-\varphi(x))v(x)=2\pi\rho a $$ which yields the first term in the expansion. \item The second term comes from approximating $$ (1-u(x))v(x)\approx\frac{2e}\rho\delta(x) $$ and solving the equation in Fourier space. \end{itemize} \vfill \eject \title{Decay (sketch)} $$ (-\Delta+4e+v)u=v+2e\rho u\ast u ,\quad e=\frac\rho2\int dx\ (1-u(x))v(x) $$ \begin{itemize} \item $u$ and $u\ast u$ have to decay at the same rate. This is a property of algebraically decaying functions. \item (Remark: if $f(x)\geqslant f\ast f(x)$ and $\int f=\frac12$, then (morally) $f\sim|x|^{d+1}$.) \item (Remark: $u_n(x)$ decays exponentially). \item Proof is based on the Fourier transform and complex analysis. \item Remark: The truncated two-point correlation function of the Bose gas is also conjectured to decay like $|x|^{-4}$. \end{itemize} \vfill \eject \title{Conclusion} \vfill \begin{itemize} \item Simple equation: correct asymptotics for the ground state energy at both high and low densities. \item Good approximation for intermediate densities (relative error of 5\%). \item Intriguing non-linear PDE. \item Proved existence, asymptotics, and decay rate. \end{itemize} \vfill \eject \title{Open problems and conjectures} \begin{itemize} \item Monotonicity of $e\mapsto\rho(e)$, and concavity of $e\mapsto\frac1{\rho(e)}$ (would imply uniqueness). \item Other observables? Condensate fraction? (in progress) \item Crystallization? \item {\it Lieb's simple equation} is actually a simplified version of a more complicated one: {\it Lieb's full equation}. Can it improve on the simple one? (in progress) \end{itemize} \vfill \eject \title{Teaser: Full equation} \hfil\includegraphics[height=6cm]{erho_fulleq.pdf} \end{document}
