Abstract:
In this talk I review some recent rigorous results and formulate open mathematical problems related to the Bose Einstein condensation. The latter was predicted in 1924 and discovered experimentally in trapped gases in 1995. It offers challenging and beautiful mathematical problems in Quantum Many-Body Theory and nonlinear PDEs.
