9 An electron with a retained quantum oscillator source

In reduced-mass atomic units let

h=−12Δr−∣r∣−1,Hs=Ω(NY+12)=Ω2(−∂Y2+Y2),H(t)=h+Hs+g(t)YdR(r),Ω>0. h=-\tfrac12\Delta_r-|r|^{-1},\qquad H_s=\Omega(N_Y+\tfrac12)=\tfrac\Omega2(-\partial_Y^2+Y^2),\qquad H(t)=h+H_s+g(t)Yd_R(r),\quad \Omega>0. (9.1)

Here dR(r)=zχR(∣r∣)d_R(r)=z\chi_R(|r|) is real, compactly supported C6C^6, equal to zz on a prescribed inner ball, with its complete smooth collar retained. The real gg is bounded and absolutely continuous on the finite horizon, with g′∈L1g'\in L^1. The source amplitude is the configuration coordinate YY, not its expectation. Use the complete currents

jr=Im⁡ψ†∇rψ,jY=ΩIm⁡ψ†∂Yψ. j_r=\operatorname{Im}\psi^\dagger\nabla_r\psi,\qquad j_Y=\Omega\operatorname{Im}\psi^\dagger\partial_Y\psi. (9.2)

The entrance is f(r,Y)=π−1/2e−∣r∣ψ1(Y)⊗ζf(r,Y)=\pi^{-1/2}e^{-|r|}\psi_1(Y)\otimes\zeta, where ψ1\psi_1 is the normalized first excited oscillator wave and ζ\zeta is any normalized vector in the passive finite internal reference. Both the Coulomb cusp and the source node at Y=0Y=0 remain.

Theorem 9.1 (Full Coulomb–source flow)

The parent (9.1) with this entrance has a common physical form and first domain, finite-horizon graph bounds, and a jointly continuous evolved full wave on r≠0r\neq0. Its complete current (9.2) supplies the hypotheses of Theorem 3.3, with all-times collision and node avoidance for the reference law. It therefore defines a unique deterministic reference-compatible electron/source flow and transports one arbitrary entrance law μ0≪∣f∣2 dr dY\mu_0\ll|f|^2\,dr\,dY by once-only reweighting. No source occupation or source position is drawn from a postulated equilibrium distribution.

Proof

For a smooth test in the electron coordinate,

0≤14∥∇u+2r^ u∥2=14∥∇u∥2+∥u∥2−∫∣u∣2/∣r∣. 0\leq\tfrac14\|\nabla u+2\widehat r\,u\|^2 =\tfrac14\|\nabla u\|^2+\|u\|^2-\int |u|^2/|r|.

The integration by parts uses div⁡r^=2/∣r∣\operatorname{div}\widehat r=2/|r| and extends by Hardy to H1H^1. Thus h+1≥pr2/4h+1\geq p_r^2/4. Young's inequality gives gYdR≥−ΩY2/4−g2∥dR∥∞2/ΩgYd_R\geq-\Omega Y^2/4-g^2\|d_R\|_\infty^2/\Omega, and Hs−ΩY2/4≥Hs/2H_s-\Omega Y^2/4\geq H_s/2. In particular

H(t)+2+g(t)2∥dR∥∞2Ω≥1+14pr2+12Hs. H(t)+2+\frac{g(t)^2\|d_R\|_\infty^2}{\Omega} \geq1+\tfrac14p_r^2+\tfrac12H_s . (9.3)

The true common form domain is V=H1(Rr3×RY)∩{Yu∈L2}\mathcal V=H^1(\mathbb R^3_r\times\mathbb R_Y) \cap\{Yu\in L^2\}. Coulomb is infinitesimally Laplacian bounded by Hardy and interpolation. The independent source oscillator satisfies ∥Yu∥≤2/Ω∥Hs1/2u∥\|Yu\|\leq\sqrt{2/\Omega}\|H_s^{1/2}u\|; hence the bounded-profile coupling is infinitesimally operator bounded against Hc=h+HsH_{\rm c}=h+H_s. After a shift the two central operators are positive and strongly commute, so D(Hc)=D(h)∩D(Hs)D(H_{\rm c})=D(h)\cap D(H_s). This is the common first domain of every H(t)H(t).

Use the tangent/source estimate operator A=1+Je2+NY\mathcal A=1+J_e^2+N_Y, Je=r×(−i∇r)J_e=r\times(-i\nabla_r). It strongly commutes with HcH_{\rm c}. Angular commutation with multiplication by dRd_R produces a bounded angular derivative and at most one angular generator; source commutation gives [NY,Y]=−∂Y[N_Y,Y]=-\partial_Y and [NY,∂Y]=−Y[N_Y,\partial_Y]=-Y. Thus each ad⁡Aℓ(YdR)\operatorname{ad}_{\mathcal A}^{\ell}(Yd_R), ℓ≤3\ell\leq3, has tangent/source degree at most ℓ+1≤2ℓ\ell+1\leq2\ell and uses at most six profile jets. Angular representation and oscillator ladder bounds give (6.1), while four differentiated jets and integrable g′g' give (6.2). The source YY is unbounded but its degree has been paid explicitly.

The entrance lies in every A\mathcal A graph and in the true first HH domain. Its central part is an eigenvector, and YdRfYd_R f has only electron angular degree one and source occupations zero and two. These have square-integrable radial factors, so H(0)f∈D(A2)H(0)f\in D(\mathcal A^2). The test core crosses r=0r=0 in the operator domain; a collision-deleted core is used only for form density. The spectral projections of A\mathcal A commute with the shifted central form and converge on its joint core. All hypotheses of Theorem 6.1 are thereby verified. In particular the weakly closed identity is

(h+Hs)A2ψ=A2[H(t)ψ−g(t)YdRψ]∈L2. (h+H_s)\mathcal A^2\psi =\mathcal A^2[H(t)\psi-g(t)Yd_R\psi]\in L^2 .

On compact electron annuli and bounded source charts, subtract the angular/source terms, controlled by A3ψ\mathcal A^3\psi, to obtain the genuine radial second-order equation for A2ψ\mathcal A^2\psi. There are three tangent coordinates, the two electron angles and YY. Equations (6.8)–(6.9) with θ>3/8\theta>3/8 give joint spacetime continuity and local full H2H^2 away from the collision. The argument has not required a high power of the full Coulomb Hamiltonian.

Testing the physical form against real multipliers yields the full Cartesian conservation law ∂tρ+div⁡rjr+∂YjY=0\partial_t\rho+\operatorname{div}_rj_r+\partial_Yj_Y=0 on all four coordinates, with no deleted-collision boundary source. The coercive floor and first graph give finite current length/action and logarithmic costs by Proposition 3.4. Hardy in the electron coordinate gives

∫0T ⁣∫∣jr⋅r^∣∣r∣≤∫0T∥ψ/∣r∣∥∥∇rψ∥ dt≤2∫0T∥∇rψ∥2dt<∞. \int_0^T\!\int\frac{|j_r\cdot\widehat r|}{|r|} \leq\int_0^T\|\psi/|r|\|\|\nabla_r\psi\|\,dt \leq2\int_0^T\|\nabla_r\psi\|^2dt<\infty.

The smooth logarithmic collision test used in (8.3) excludes every-time collision encounters for the reference paths. The initial source node is a different issue; Lemma 3.2 applies to the proved continuous full wave and finite log/action costs, without deleting that node. The deterministic theorem now gives the conclusion. Since the entrance density is positive almost everywhere except the measure-zero source nodal plane, any original joint Lebesgue-AC law is also AC relative to it. Singular entrance mass on that plane is outside this assertion.

Proposition 9.2 (Reciprocal current at the true source entrance)

If gg is constant near the entrance, the complete first-time currents for the entrance above, whose spatial factor is real, satisfy in L1L^1,

∂tjr∣0=−gYρ0∇rdR,∂tjY∣0=−Ωg dRρ0. \left.\partial_tj_r\right|_0=-gY\rho_0\nabla_rd_R,\qquad \left.\partial_tj_Y\right|_0=-\Omega g\,d_R\rho_0. (9.4)

The spatially integrated first source current is zero, although for nonzero gg and a nonzero dipole profile the full conditional source-current derivative is not.

Proof

Hf=(E0+gYdR)fHf=(E_0+gYd_R)f, where ff is a real spatial factor times a fixed internal vector. Both ff and HfHf belong to the physical form domain: the cusp is H1H^1, the profile is smooth, and all oscillator polynomial factors have finite first form. Spectral calculus for the constant parent therefore gives differentiability at zero in the form norm with ψ˙(0)=−iHf\dot\psi(0)=-iHf. Differentiating the current bilinear, whose form-to-L1L^1 continuity follows by Cauchy, cancels the two terms containing (E0+gYdR)f∇f(E_0+gYd_R)f\nabla f. The remaining term is −ρ0∇(gYdR)-\rho_0\nabla(gYd_R), with the appropriate kinetic coefficient, which gives (9.4). The profile dRd_R is odd under z↦−zz\mapsto-z and the entrance electron density is even, so its electron integral vanishes. At a generic configuration dRρ0≠0d_R\rho_0\neq0. Replacing YY by its mean would erase this complete-coordinate response. The result is a first derivative for constant entrance coupling, not an asserted O(t2)O(t^2) remainder for an arbitrary merely AC control.
