Mean-field systems provide a natural framework in which collective effects persist as the number of degrees of freedom N increases, raising fundamental questions about the emergence of integrability and the nature of chaos in large but…
This article studies large $N$ limits of a coupled system of $N$ interacting $\Phi^4$ equations posed over $\mathbb{T}^{d}$ for $d=2$, known as the $O(N)$ linear sigma model. Uniform in $N$ bounds on the dynamics are established, allowing…
