Abstract
The complex WKB-Maslov method is used to consider an approach to the semiclassical integrability of the multidimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with an external field and nonlocal nonlinearity previously developed by the authors. Although the WKB-Maslov method is approximate in essence, it leads to exact solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with an external and a nonlocal quadratic potential. For this equation, an exact solution of the Cauchy problem is constructed in the class of trajectory concentrated functions. A nonlinear evolution operator is found in explicit form and symmetry operators (mapping a solution of the equation into another solution) are obtained for the equation under consideration. General constructions are illustrated by examples.

Key words: WKB-Maslov complex germ method; semiclassical asymptotics; Gross-Pitaevskii equation; the Cauchy problem; nonlinear evolution operator; trajectory concentrated functions; symmetry operators.
