Nonlinear Hartree equation as the mean field limit of weakly coupled fermions
Alexander Elgart, Laszlo Erdos, Benjamin Schlein +1
We consider a system of N weakly interacting fermions with a real analytic pair interaction. We prove that for a general class of initial data there exists a fixed time T such that…

On the quantum Boltzmann equation
Laszlo Erdos, Manfred Salmhofer, Horng-Tzer Yau
We give a nonrigorous derivation of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation from the Schrodinger evolution of interacting fermions. The argument is based mainly on the assumption that a q…
