We develop a method for producing estimates on the spectral gaps of reversible Markov jump processes with chaotic invariant measures, and we apply it to prove the Kac conjecture for hard sphere collision in three dimensions.

We develop the Cauchy theory of the spatially homogeneous inelastic Boltzmann equation for hard spheres, for a general form of collision rate which includes in particular variable restitution coefficients depending on the kinetic energy and…

In the first part of this paper we give a short review of the hierarchy of stochastic models, related to physical chemistry. In the basement of this hierarchy there are two models --- stochastic chemical kinetics and the Kac model for…

We consider a simple stochastic $N$-particle system, already studied by the same authors in \cite{CPS21}, representing different populations of agents. Each agent has a label describing his state of health. We show rigorously that, in the…

In this paper, we first investigate the well-posedness of a backward stochastic differential equation where the driver depends on the law of the solution conditioned to a common noise. Under standard assumptions, we show that existence and…

Due to the regularization effect of the stochastic noise, the quantitative entropy-cost type propagation of chaos for mean field interacting particle system is proposed. The result shows that the Kac's chaotic property measured in relative…

The kinetic theory of Maxwell and Boltzmann has been the subject of major scientific controversies. The alleged incompatibility between the reversible nature of the equations of classical mechanics and the increase of entropy, which, in the…

The present work provides a definitive answer to the problem of quantifying relaxation to equilibrium of the solution to the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for Maxwellian molecules. The beginning of the story dates back to a…

This work is a series of two articles. The main goal is to rigorously derive the degenerate parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system in the sub-critical regime from a moderately interacting stochastic particle system. In the first article…

This paper deals with a sub-critical Keller-Segel equation. Starting from the stochastic particle system associated with it, we show well-posedness results and the propagation of chaos property. More precisely, we show that the empirical…

We study a model of random colliding particles interacting with an infinite reservoir at fixed temperature and chemical potential. Interaction between the particles is modeled via a Kac master equation \cite{kac}. Moreover, particles can…

We consider the mass heterogeneity in a gas of polydisperse hard particles as a key to optimizing a dynamical property: the kinetic relaxation rate. Using the framework of the Boltzmann equation, we study the long time approach of a…

This article examines the relationship between classical and quantum propagation of chaos. (In this context, "chaos" refers to the Boltzmann's Ansatz of molecular disorder, not to chaotic dynamics.) Classical propagation of chaos is shown…

We study a stochastic system of $N$ interacting particles which models bimolecular chemical reaction-diffusion. In this model, each particle $i$ carries two attributes: the spatial location $X_t^i\in \mathbb{T}^d$, and the type $\Xi_t^i\in…
