Vortices in a 2d rotating Bose–Einstein condensate
[Tourbillons dans un condensat de Bose–Einstein 2d en rotation]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 340 (2005) no. 8, pp. 571-576.

Nous étudions le modèle physique pour un condensat de Bose–Einstein bidimensionnel en rotation. Nous minimisons une fonctionnelle de Gross–Pitaevskii définie sur R2 sous contrainte de masse un. Nous estimons les vitesses critiques Ωd pour lesquelles d tourbillons sont présents dans le condensat, puis nous localisons ces tourbillons. Notre méthode est basée sur un développement asymptotique de l'énergie.

We investigate the physical model for a two dimensional rotating Bose–Einstein condensate. We minimize a Gross–Pitaevskii functional defined in R2 under the unit mass constraint. We estimate the critical rotational speeds Ωd for having d vortices in the condensate and we determine the location of the vortices. This relies on an asymptotic expansion of the energy.
