Abstract

We prove that in the fast rotating regime, the three-dimensional Gross–Pitaevskii energy describing the state of a Bose Einstein condensate can be reduced to a two-dimensional problem and that the vortex lines are almost straight. Additionally, we prove that the minimum of this two-dimensional problem can be sought in a reduced space corresponding to the first eigenspace of an elliptic operator. This space is called the Lowest Landau level and is of infinite dimension
