Abstract
We study the dynamical phase diagram of a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped
in a periodic potential. The dynamics is governed by a discrete nonlinear Schrödinger
equation: intrinsically localized excitations, including discrete solitons and breathers,
can be created even if the BEC's interatomic potential is repulsive. Furthermore,
we analyze the Anderson-Kasevich experiment [Science 282, 1686 (1998)], pointing out
that mean field effects lead to a coherent destruction of the interwell Bloch oscillations.
