Abstract: We will consider the many-body evolution of initially confined fermions interacting through a singular potential.

In a joint mean-field and semiclassical scaling and using second quantization techniques, we will show that, for mixed states enjoying a semiclassical structure, the many-body dynamics can be approximated in Schatten norms by the time-dependent Hartree-Fock equation.

Moreover, in the semiclassical limit, the dynamics is close to the one described by the Vlasov equation with singular interactions, thus providing a two-step approximation of the many-body evolution.

The method used provides explicit bounds on the convergence rate.

Based on joint works with J. Chong and L. Laflèche.
