Stuck in the proof for Diamagnetic Kinetic Energy form.

33 Views Asked by At

This is part of the getting the Diamagnetic Kinetic Energy in "Large Fermionic Systems" by Fournais, Lewin & Solovej (2015) p.17

I will summarise the question I have.

Define $$ \cal{F}[g](p)= (2\pi\hbar)^{-d} \int_{R^d} g(x)e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}p\cdot x} dx $$ be a $\hbar$-scaled Fourier Transform.

Furthermore let $f_{x,0}^\hbar$ be a real-valued function. And $u\in L^2(R^d)$ be some complex function (wave function).

My question is, how did the author get from line 3 to line 4 in the proof: $$ \int_{R^d} p\ |\cal{F}[f_{x,0}^\hbar u](p)|^2\ dp= \hbar \ \Im \bigg(\int_{R^d}f_{x,0}^\hbar (y) \bar{u}(y)\ \triangledown(f_{x,0}^\hbar u)(y)\ dy \bigg), $$ where $\Im$ is the imarginary part.

I ran out of ways. I thought of integration by parts and/or use the Fourier transformation of a derivative, but to no avails. Help is appreciated! I am especially confused where the $\Im$ comes from.

P.s. I'm equally confuse how he got from line 4 to line 5 :(

Solved it.

We utilise the Fourier transformation of gradient $\cal{F}[\triangledown g](p) = \frac{i}{\hbar}p \cal{F}[g](p)$ as well as the $\cal{F} [gh](p) = (g\ast h)(y) $
