This is the document corresponding to the talk the first author gave at IH{E}S for the Laurent Schwartz seminar on November 19, 2019. It concerns our recent introduction of a modulated free energy in mean-field theory in BrJaWa [4]. This physical object may be seen as a combination of the modulated potential energy introduced by S. Serfaty [See Proc. Int. Cong. Math. (2018)] and of the relative entropy introduced in mean field limit theory by P.-E. Jabin, Z. Wang [See Inventiones 2018]. It allows to obtain, for the first time, a convergence rate in the mean field limit for Riesz and Coulomb repulsive kernels in the presence of viscosity using the estimates in Du [8] and Se1 [20]. The main objective in this paper is to explain how it is possible to cover more general repulsive kernels through a Fourier transform approach as announced in BrJaWa [4] first in the case $sigma$N $rightarrow$ 0 when N $rightarrow$ +$infty$ and then if $sigma$ > 0 is fixed. Then we end the paper with comments on the particle approximation of the Patlak-Keller-Segel system which is associated to an attractive kernel and refer to [C.R.

In this paper, we derive the mean-field limit of a collective dynamics model with time-varying weights, for weight dynamics that preserve the total mass of the system as well as indistinguishability of the agents. The limit equation is a transport equation with source, where the (non-local) transport term corresponds to the position dynamics, and the (non-local) source term comes from the weight redistribution among the agents. We show existence and uniqueness of the solution for both microscopic and macroscopic models and introduce a new empirical measure taking into account the weights. We obtain the convergence of the microscopic model to the macroscopic one by showing continuity of the macroscopic solution with respect to the initial data, in the Wasserstein and Bounded Lipschitz topologies.
In this paper, we consider the mean field limit of Brownian particles with Coulomb interaction in 3D space. In particular, using a symmetrization technique, we show that the limit measure almost surely is a weak solution to the limiting nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation. By proving that the energy almost surely is bounded by the initial energy, we improve the regularity of the weak solutions. Moreover, by a natural assumption, we establish the weak strong uniqueness principle, which is closely related to the propagation of chaos.
We study an interacting particle system in $mathbf{R}^d$ motivated by Stein variational gradient descent [Q. Liu and D. Wang, NIPS 2016], a deterministic algorithm for sampling from a given probability density with unknown normalization. We prove that in the large particle limit the empirical measure of the particle system converges to a solution of a non-local and nonlinear PDE. We also prove global existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solution to the limiting PDE. Finally, we prove that the solution to the PDE converges to the unique invariant solution in long time limit.
IIn this paper we study a general class of hybrid mathematical models of collective motions of cells under the influence of chemical stimuli. The models are hybrid in the sense that cells are discrete entities given by ODE, while the chemoattractant is considered as a continuous signal which solves a diffusive equation. For this model we prove the mean-field limit in the Wasserstein distance to a system given by the coupling of a Vlasov-type equation with the chemoattractant equation. Our approach is not based on empirical measures and we show the limit with explicit bounds, by proving also existence and uniqueness for the limit system. In the monokinetic case we derive pressureless nonlocal Euler-type model with chemotaxis.
In this work we give a proof of the mean-field limit for $lambda$-convex potentials using a purely variational viewpoint. Our approach is based on the observation that all evolution equations that we study can be written as gradient flows of functionals at different levels: in the set of probability measures, in the set of symmetric probability measures on $N$ variables, and in the set of probability measures on probability measures. This basic fact allows us to rely on $Gamma$-convergence tools for gradient flows to complete the proof by identifying the limits of the different terms in the Evolutionary Variational Inequalities (EVIs) associated to each gradient flow. The $lambda$-convexity of the confining and interaction potentials is crucial for the unique identification of the limits and for deriving the EVIs at each description level of the interacting particle system.
