We present a new proof of the convergence of the N-particle Schroedinger dynamics for bosons towards the dynamics generated by the Hartree equation in the mean-field limit. For a restricted class of two-body interactions, we obtain convergence estimates uniform in the Planck constant , up to an exponentially small remainder. For h=0, the classical dynamics in the mean-field limit is given by the Vlasov equation.

We study the many body quantum evolution of bosonic systems in the mean field limit. The dynamics is known to be well approximated by the Hartree equation. So far, the available results have the form of a law of large numbers. In this paper we go one step further and we show that the fluctuations around the Hartree evolution satisfy a central limit theorem. Interestingly, the variance of the limiting Gaussian distribution is determined by a time-dependent Bogoliubov transformation describing the dynamics of initial coherent states in a Fock space representation of the system.
We consider the many-body quantum evolution of a factorized initial data, in the mean-field regime. We show that fluctuations around the limiting Hartree dynamics satisfy large deviation estimates, that are consistent with central limit theorems that have been established in the last years.
We propose an index for pairs of a unitary map and a clustering state on many-body quantum systems. We require the map to conserve an integer-valued charge and to leave the state, e.g. a gapped ground state, invariant. This index is integer-valued and stable under perturbations. In general, the index measures the charge transport across a fiducial line. We show that it reduces to (i) an index of projections in the case of non-interacting fermions, (ii) the charge density for translational invariant systems, and (iii) the quantum Hall conductance in the two-dimensional setting without any additional symmetry. Example (ii) recovers the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem, and (iii) provides a new and short proof of quantization of Hall conductance in interacting many-body systems.
The dynamics of any classical-mechanics system can be formulated in the reparametrization-invariant (RI) form (that is we use the parametric representation for trajectories, ${bf x}={bf x}(tau)$, $t=t(tau)$ instead of ${bf x}={bf x}(t)$). In this pedagogical note we discuss what the quantization rules look like for the RI formulation of mechanics. We point out that in this case some of the rules acquire an intuitively clearer form. Hence the formulation could be an alternative starting point for teaching the basic principles of quantum mechanics. The advantages can be resumed as follows. a) In RI formulation both the temporal and the spatial coordinates are subject to quantization. b) The canonical Hamiltonian of RI formulation is proportional to the quantity $tilde H=p_t+H$, where $H$ is the Hamiltonian of the initial formulation. Due to the reparametrization invariance, the quantity $tilde H$ vanishes for any solution, $tilde H=0$. So the corresponding quantum-mechanical operator annihilates the wave function, $hat{tilde H}Psi=0$, which is precisely the Schrodinger equation $ihbarpartial_tPsi=hat HPsi$. As an illustration, we discuss quantum mechanics of the relativistic particle.
We are dealing with boundary conditions for Dirac-type operators, i.e., first order differential operators with matrix-valued coefficients, including in particular physical many-body Dirac operators. We characterize (what we conjecture is) the general form of reflecting boundary conditions (which includes known boundary conditions such as the one of the MIT bag model) and, as our main goal, of interior-boundary conditions (IBCs). IBCs are a new approach to defining UV-regular Hamiltonians for quantum field theories without smearing particles out or discretizing space. For obtaining such Hamiltonians, the method of IBCs provides an alternative to renormalization and has been successfully used so far in non-relativistic models, where it could be applied also in cases in which no renormalization method was known. A natural next question about IBCs is how to set them up for the Dirac equation, and here we take first steps towards the answer. For quantum field theories, the relevant boundary consists of the surfaces in $n$-particle configuration space $mathbb{R}^{3n}$ on which two particles have the same location in $mathbb{R}^3$. While this boundary has codimension 3, we focus here on the more basic situation in which the boundary has codimension 1 in configuration space. We describe specific examples of IBCs for the Dirac equation, we prove for some of these examples that they rigorously define self-adjoint Hamiltonians, and we develop the general form of IBCs for Dirac-type operators.
