We consider a system of N point particles moving on a d-dimensional torus. Each particle is subject to a uniform field E and random speed conserving collisions. This model is a variant of the Drude-Lorentz model of electrical conduction. In…

We introduce a framework to prove propagation of chaos for interacting particle systems with singular, density-dependent interactions, a classical challenge in mean-field theory. Our approach is to define the dynamics implicitly via a…

The aim of this note is to revisit propagation of chaos for a Langevin-type interacting particle system used for sampling probability measures. The interacting particle system we consider coincides, in the setting of a log-quadratic target…

A stochastic approach to the (generic) mean-field limit in Bose-Einstein Condensation is described and the convergence of the ground state energy as well as of its components are established. For the one-particle process on the path space a…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the normalized maxima of real-valued diffusive particles with mean-field drift interaction. Our main result establishes propagation of chaos: in the large population limit, the normalized maxima behave as…

We study the notion of quantum Kac's chaos which was implicitly introduced by Spohn and explicitly formulated by Gottlieb. We prove the analogue of a result of Sznitman which gives the equivalence of Kac's chaos to 2-chaoticity and to…

We address propagation of chaos for large systems of rough differential equations associated with random rough differential equations of mean field type $$ dX_t = V(X_t,\mathcal{L}(X_t))dt + F(X_t,\mathcal{L}(X_t))dW_t $$ where $W$ is a…
