On the dynamics of finite temperature trapped Bose gases
  The system that describes the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) and the thermal cloud at finite temperature consists of a nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) and a quantum Boltzmann (QB) equations. In such a system of trapped Bose gases at finite temperature, the QB equation corresponds to the evolution of the density distribution function of the thermal cloud and the NLS is the equation of the condensate. The quantum Boltzmann collision operator in this temperature regime is the sum of two operators $C_{12}$ and $C_{22}$, which describe collisions of the condensate and the non-condenstate atoms and collisions between non-condensate atoms. Above the BEC critical temperature, the system is reduced to an equation containing only $C_{22}$, which possesses a blow-up positive radial solution with respect to the $L^\infty$ norm (cf. \cite{EscobedoVelazquez:2015:FTB}). On the other hand, at the very low temperature regime, the system becomes an equation of $C_{12}$, with a different (much higher order) transition probability, which has a unique global positive radial solution with weighted $L^1$ norm (cf. \cite{AlonsoGambaBinh}). In the current temperature regime, we first decouple the QB and NLS equations, then show a global existence and uniqueness result for positive radial solutions to the spatially homogeneous kinetic system. Different from the case considered in \cite{EscobedoVelazquez:2015:FTB}, due to the presence of the BEC, the collision integrals are associated to sophisticated energy manifolds rather than spheres, since the particle energy is approximated by the Bogoliubov dispersion law. Moreover, the mass of the full system is not conserved while it is conserved for the case considered in \cite{EscobedoVelazquez:2015:FTB}. A new theory is then supplied.
