A new proof of a Liouville theorem for the one dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Abstract

The asymptotic stability of the black and dark solitons of the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation was proved by Béthuel, Gravejat and Smets (Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. 48 (2015)) and Gravejat and Smets (Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. 111 (2015)), using a rigidity property in the vicinity of solitons. We provide an alternate proof of the Liouville theorems in the above articles using a factorization identity for the linearized operator which trivializes the spectral analysis.
