G. Kaniadakis et Am. Scarfone, Nonlinear transformation for a class of gauged Schrodinger equations with complex nonlinearities, REP MATH PH, 48(1-2), 2001, pp. 115-121
In the present contribution we consider a class of Schrodinger equations co
ntaining complex nonlinearities, describing systems with conserved norm \ p
si \ (2) and minimally coupled to an abelian gauge field. We introduce a no
nlinear transformation which permits the linearization of the source term i
n the evolution equations for the gauge field, and transforms the nonlinear
Schrodinger equations into another one with real nonlinearities. We show t
hat this transformation can be performed either on the gauge field A(mu) or
, equivalently, on the matter field psi. Since the transformation does not
change the quantities \ psi \ (2) and F-mu nu, it can be considered as a ge
neralization of the gauge transformation of third kind introduced some year
s ago by other authors.
