Angular Pseudomomentum Theory for the Generalized Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in Discrete Rotational Symmetry Media
arXiv:0806.0947 · doi:10.1016/j.physd.2008.12.007
Abstract
We develop a complete mathematical theory for the symmetrical solutions of the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation based on the new concept of angular pseudomomentum. We consider the symmetric solitons of a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a nonlinearity depending on the modulus of the field. We provide a rigorous proof of a set of mathematical results justifying that these solitons can be classified according to the irreducible representations of a discrete group. Then we extend this theory to non-stationary solutions and study the relationship between angular momentum and pseudomomentum. We illustrate these theoretical results with numerical examples. Finally, we explore the possibilities of the generalization of the previous framework to the quantum limit.
