I will present a series of papers in which we constructed multi-soliton solutions to three-dimensional ($L^2$-subcritical) and four-dimensional ($L^2$-critical) Hartree equations. In these solutions, the soliton centers evolve according to an effective N-body system. Our work generalized and improved the 2009 result of Krieger–Martel–Raphaël, which constructed two-soliton solutions for the three-dimensional Hartree equation. In four dimensions, our results further yield the existence of multi-point pseudo-conformal blow-up via the pseudo-conformal symmetry.
