Many-body aspects of approach to equilibrium

Eric Carlen, M. C. Carvalho, Michael Loss (2000)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Kinetic theory and approach to equilibrium is usually studied in the realm of the Boltzmann equation. With a few notable exceptions not much is known about the solutions of this equation and about its derivation from fundamental principles. In 1956 Mark Kac introduced a probabilistic model of N interacting particles. The velocity distribution is governed by a Markov semi group and the evolution of its single particle marginals is governed (in the infinite particle limit) by a caricature of the spatially...

Mean-field evolution of fermionic systems

Marcello Porta (2014/2015)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

We study the dynamics of interacting fermionic systems, in the mean-field regime. We consider initial states which are close to quasi-free states and prove that, under suitable assumptions on the inital data and on the many-body interaction, the quantum evolution of the system is approximated by a time-dependent quasi-free state. In particular we prove that the evolution of the reduced one-particle density matrix converges, as the number of particles goes to infinity, to the solution of the time-dependent...
