Global attractor for a ginzburg-landau type model of rotating bose-einstein condensates

© 2017 International Press. We study the long time behavior of solutions to a nonlinear partial differential equation arising in the mean-field description of trapped rotating Bose-Einstein condensates. The equation can be seen as a hybrid between the well-known nonlinear Schrödinger/Gross-Pitaevskii equation and the Ginzburg-Landau equation. We prove existence and uniqueness of global in-time solutions in the physical energy space and establish the existence of a global attractor within the associated dynamics. We also obtain basic structural properties of the attractor and an estimate on its Hausdorff and fractal dimensions. As a by-product, we establish heat-kernel estimates on the linear part of the equation.
