The dressed nonrelativistic electron in a magnetic field

We consider a nonrelativistic electron interacting with a classical magnetic field pointing along the $x_{3}$-axis and with a quantized electromagnetic field. When the interaction between the electron and photons is turned off, the electronic system is assumed to have a ground state of finite multiplicity. Because of the translation invariance along the $x_{3}$-axis, we consider the reduced Hamiltonian associated with the total momentum along the $x_{3}$-axis and, after introducing an ultraviolet cutoff and an infrared regularization, we prove that the reduced Hamiltonian has a ground state if the coupling constant and the total momentum along the $x_{3}$-axis are sufficiently small. Finally we determine the absolutely continuous spectrum of the reduced Hamiltonian.

Birfhoff Normal Form for PDEs with Tame Modulus

We prove an abstract Birkhoff normal form theorem for Hamiltonian Partial Differential Equations. The theorem applies to semilinear equations with nonlinearity satisfying a property that we call of Tame Modulus. Such a property is related to the classical tame inequality by Moser. In the nonresonant case we deduce that any small amplitude solution remains very close to a torus for very long times. We also develop a general scheme to apply the abstract theory to PDEs in one space dimensions and we use it to study some concrete equations (NLW,NLS) with different boundary conditions. An application to a nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the $d$-dimensional torus is also given. In all cases we deduce bounds on the growth of high Sobolev norms. In particular we get lower bounds on the existence time of solutions.
