Abstract:
The zero Debye length asymptotic of the Schr\"odinger-Poisson system in Coulomb gauge for ill-prepared initial data is studied. We prove that when the scaled Debye length $\la\to 0$, the current density defined by the solution of the Schr\"odinger-Poisson system in the Coulomb gauge converges to the solution of the rotating incompressible Euler equation plus a fast singular oscillating gradient vector field.

Keywords: Schr\"odinger-Poisson system; Coulomb gauge; rotating incompressible Euler equations; quasi-neutral limit.
