Abstract

Using a new method it is possible to derive mean field equations from the microscopic body Schrödinger evolution of interacting particles without using BBGKY hierarchies. In this paper we wish to analyze scalings which lead to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation which is usually derived assuming positivity of the interaction. The new method for dealing with mean field limits presented in [6] allows us to relax this condition. The price we have to pay for this relaxation is however that we have to restrict the scaling behavior to and that we have to assume fast convergence of the reduced one particle marginal density matrix of the initial wave function to a pure state .
