Long wave limit for Schrodinger maps

Abstract

We study long wave limits for general Schrodinger maps systems into Kahler manifolds with a constraining potential vanishing on a Lagrangian submanifold. We obtain KdV type systems set on the tangent space of the submanifold. Our general theory is applied to study the long wave limit of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, and of the Landau-Lifshitz systems for ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic chains.
