We consider a class of stochastic processes modeling binary interactions in an N-particle system. Examples of such systems can be found in the modeling of biological swarms. They lead to the definition of a class of master equations that we…

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 time-evolution of cumulants of velocities and kinetic energies in the stochastic Kac model for velocity exchange of $N$ particles, with the aim of quantifying how fast these degrees of freedom become chaotic in a time scale in…

Mark Kac introduced what is now called 'the Kac Walk' with the aim of investigating the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation by probabilistic means. Much recent work, discussed below, on Kac's program has run in the other direction:…

In this paper we study Kac's 1D particle system, consisting of the velocities of $N$ particles colliding at constant rate and randomly exchanging energies. We prove uniform (in time) propagation of chaos in Wasserstein distance with…

We introduce a global thermostat on Kac's 1D model for the velocities of particles in a space-homogeneous gas subjected to binary collisions, also interacting with a (local) Maxwellian thermostat. The global thermostat rescales the…

The hypothesis of molecular chaos plays the central role in kinetic theory, which provides a closure leading to the Boltzmann equation for quantitative description of classic fluids. Yet how to properly extend it to active systems is still…

We prove that the solution of the Kac analogue of Boltzmann's equation can be viewed as a probability distribution of a sum of a random number of random variables. This fact allows us to study convergence to equilibrium by means of a few…

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 consider Kac's 1D N-particle system coupled to an ideal thermostat at temperature T, introduced by Bonetto, Loss, and Vaidyanathan in 2014. We obtain a propagation of chaos result for this system, with explicit and uniform-in-time rates…

The propagation of chaos is a central concept of kinetic theory that serves to relate the equations of Boltzmann and Vlasov to the dynamics of many-particle systems. Propagation of chaos means that molecular chaos, i.e., the stochastic…

The notion of propagation of chaos for large systems of interacting particles originates in statistical physics and has recently become a central notion in many areas of applied mathematics. The present review describes old and new methods…

A new class of particle systems with sequential interaction is proposed to approximate the McKean-Vlasov process that originally arises as the limit of the mean-field interacting particle system. The weighted empirical measure of this…

The notion of propagation of chaos for large systems of interacting particles originates in statistical physics and has recently become a central notion in many areas of applied mathematics. The present review describes old and new methods…

One of the central challenges in kinetic theory is the derivation of macroscopic evolution equations--describing, for example, the dynamics of an electron gas--from the underlying fundamental microscopic laws of classical or quantum…

For perturbative scalar field theories, the late-time-limit of the out-of-time-ordered correlation function that measures (quantum) chaos is shown to be equal to a Boltzmann-type kinetic equation that measures the total gross (instead of…

We investigate Kac's many-particle stochastic model of gas dynamics in the case of hard potentials with a moderate angular singularity, and show that the noncutoff particle system can be obtained as the limit of cutoff systems, with a rate…

We introduce a variational formulation of the homogeneous Boltzmann equation, with hard-sphere cross section, which selects the unique energy conserving solution. We prove that this solution arises from the microscopic dynamics, namely…

This paper is devoted the the study of the mean field limit for many-particle systems undergoing jump, drift or diffusion processes, as well as combinations of them. The main results are quantitative estimates on the decay of fluctuations…

This paper develops a theory of propagation of chaos for a system of weakly interacting particles whose terminal configuration is fixed as opposed to the initial configuration as customary. Such systems are modeled by backward stochastic…
