Abstract

We show the convergence of the solutions to the massive nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation toward solutions to a relativistic Euler with potential type system in the semi-classical limit. In particular, the momentum and the density of Klein-Gordon converge to the the momentum and the density of the relativistic Euler system in Lebesgue norms. The relativistic Euler with potential is equivalent to the usual relativistic Euler with pressure up to a rescaling. The proof relies on the modulated energy method adapted to the wave equation and the relativistic setting: a modulated stress-energy method.
