Modular Schrödinger equation and dynamical duality.
We discuss quite surprising properties of the one-parameter family of modular nonlinear Schrödinger equations [G. Auberson and P. G. Sabatier, J. Math. Phys. 35, 4028 (1994)]. We develop a unified theoretical framework for this family. Special attention is paid to the emergent dual time evolution scenarios which, albeit running in the real time parameter of the pertinent nonlinear equation, in each considered case may be mapped among each other by means of a suitable analytic continuation-in-time procedure. This dynamical duality is characteristic for nondissipative quantum motions and their dissipative (diffusion-type processes) partners, and naturally extends to classical motions in confining and scattering potentials.
