Abstract:
The kinetic energy inequality, which is dual to the
fundamental Lieb-Thirring inequality, plays an important role in the
proof of the stability of matter, and they have a huge literature in
the mathematical physics. In this talk, we develop the profile
decomposition associated with the kinetic energy inequality and prove
existence of a maximizer for the Weinstein functional. From the
variational problem, we also derive the Euler-Lagrange equation, which
is a system of infinitely coupled nonlinear elliptic equations. This
is the joint work with Soonsik Kwon and Haewon Yoon at KAIST in Korea.
