Abstract

In this article we consider a large system of fermions in a combined mean-field and semiclassical limit, in three dimensions. We investigate the convergence of the Wigner function of the ground state, towards the classical Thomas-Fermi theory. The main novelty of the present article is quantifying the convergence rate with respect to the semi-classical parameter. One of the main ingredients is a recent result on the validity of semi-classical commutator estimates satisfied by the Hartree theory. Singular potentials, up to the Coulomb interaction, are included.
