Abstract: We discuss the mean-held approximation far a trapped weakly-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and its connection with the exact many-body problem by deriving the Gross-Pitaevskii action of the condensate. The mechanics of the BEC in a harmonic potential is studied by using a variational approach with time-dependent Gaussian trial wave-functions. In particular, we analyze the static configurations, the stability and the collective oscillations for both ground-state and vortices.
