A Lorentz gas may be defined as a system of fixed dispersing scatterers, with a single light particle moving among these and making specular collisions on encounters with the scatterers. For a dilute Lorentz gas with open boundaries in $d$…

We construct a unique global-in-time solution to the two species Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system in convex domains with the diffuse boundary condition, which can be viewed as one of the ideal scattering boundary model. The construction…

We study the dynamics of a Fermi gas with a Coulomb interaction potential, and show that, in a mean-field limiting regime, the dynamics is described by the Hartree-Fock equation. This extends previous work of Bardos et al. to the case of…
