The self-consistent Pauli-Poisswell and Pauli-Darwin equations for 2-spinors are $O(1/c)$ (where $c$ denotes the speed of light) semi-relativistic approximations of the Dirac-Maxwell equation for 4-spinors coupled to the self-consistent…
We prove that in the nonrelativistic limit, solutions of the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system in 1+3 dimensions converge in the energy space to solutions of a Schrodinger-Poisson system, under appropriate conditions on the initial data. This…
We present the self-consistent Pauli equation, a semi-relativistic model for charged spin-$1/2$-particles with self-interaction with the electromagnetic field. The Pauli equation arises as the $O(1/c)$ approximation of the relativistic…
We show that the first order form of the Schrodinger equation proposed in [1] can be obtained from the Dirac equation in the non-relativistic limit. We also show that the Pauli Hamiltonian is obtained from this equation by requiring local…
The physical essence of the non-relativistic limit, from the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau system to the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system, lies in the transition from finite-speed electromagnetic waves to instantaneous Coulomb…
It was pointed out in a previous paper that although neither the Klein-Gordon equation nor the Dirac Hamiltonian produces sound solitary free-particle relativistic quantum mechanics, the natural square-root relativistic Hamiltonian for a…
In this work we analyze the low energy nonrelativistic limit of Dirac theory in the framework of effective field theory. By integrating out the high energy modes of Dirac field, given in terms of a combination of the two-components Weyl…
The familiar $c\rightarrow \infty$ nonrelativistic limit converts the Klein-Gordon equation in Minkowski spacetime to the free Schroedinger equation, and the Einstein-massive-scalar system without a cosmological constant to the…
It is shown that the non-relativistic `Dirac' equation of L\'evy-Leblond, we used recently to describe a spin $1/2$ field interacting non-relativistically with a Chern-Simons gauge field, can be obtained by lightlike reduction from $3+1$…
We study in this paper the non-relativistic limit from Vlasov-Maxwell to Vlasov-Poisson, which corresponds to the regime where the speed of light is large compared to the typical velocities of particles. In contrast with…
This is the more technical half of a two-part work in which we introduce a robust microlocal framework for analyzing the non-relativistic limit of relativistic wave equations with time-dependent coefficients, focusing on the Klein--Gordon…
We investigate the non-relativistic limit of the Cauchy problem for the defocusing cubic nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations whose initial velocity contains a factor of $c^2$, with $c$ being the light speed. While the classical WKB expansion…
We examine the (2+1)-dimensional Dirac equation in a homogeneous magnetic field under the non-relativistic anti-Snyder model which is relevant to deformed special relativity (DSR) since it exhibits an intrinsic upper bound of the momentum…
We derive the Schr\"{o}dinger-Newton equation as the non-relativistic limit of the Einstein-Dirac equations. Our analysis relaxes the assumption of spherical symmetry, made in earlier work in the literature, while deriving this limit. Since…
An effective approach for solving the three-dimensional Dirac equation for spherically symmetric local interactions, which we have introduced recently, is reviewed and consolidated. The merit of the approach is in producing Schrodinger-like…
We consider the one and one-half dimensional multi-species relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system with non-decaying(in space) initial data. We prove its well-posedness and nonrelativistic limit as the speed of light $c\rightarrow\infty$. These…
Different subtleties and problems associated with a nonrelativistic limit of the field theory to the Schroedinger theory are discussed. In this paper, we revisit different cases of the nonrelativistic limit of a real and complex scalar…
We consider a self-consistent axially symmetric system supported by a classical nonlinear spinor field minimally coupled to electric and magnetic Maxwell fields. The presence of the nonlinearity of the spinor field ensures the existence of…
