Abstract

We study the time evolution of Bose--Einstein condensates with three-body interactions in the Gross--Pitaevskii regime. We show that Bose--Einstein condensation is preserved under many-body evolution and that the condensate wavefunction evolves according to the quintic Gross--Pitaevskii equation in $\mathbb{R}^3$, which is energy critical. In particular, we show that the effective coupling constant is universal and depends only on a three-body scattering hypervolume.
