We study the nonlinear, nonlocal, time-dependent partial differential equation [Formula: see text] which is known to describe the dynamics of quasi-relativistic boson stars in the mean-field limit. For positive mass parameter [Formula: see text] we establish existence of infinitely many (corresponding to distinct energies [Formula: see text]) traveling solitary waves, [Formula: see text], with speed [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] corresponds to the speed of light in our choice of units. These traveling solitary waves cannot be obtained by applying a Lorentz boost to a solitary wave at rest (with [Formula: see text]) because Lorentz covariance fails. Instead, we study a suitable variational problem for which the functions [Formula: see text] arise as solutions (called boosted excited states) to a Choquard-type equation in [Formula: see text], where the negative Laplacian is replaced by the pseudo-differential operator [Formula: see text] and an additional term [Formula: see text] enters. Moreover, we give a new proof for existence of boosted ground states. The results are based on perturbation methods in critical point theory.

AbstractIn this paper, we propose and study a stochastic aggregation–diffusion equation of the Keller–Segel (KS) type for modeling the chemotaxis in dimensions $$d=2,3$$ d = 2 , 3 . Unlike the classical deterministic KS system, which only allows for idiosyncratic noises, the stochastic KS equation is derived from an interacting particle system subject to both idiosyncratic and common noises. Both the unique existence of solutions to the stochastic KS equation and the mean-field limit result are addressed.

AbstractA multi-step Lagrangian scheme at discrete times is proposed for the approximation of a nonlinear continuity equation arising as a mean-field limit of spatially inhomogeneous evolutionary games, describing the evolution of a system of spatially distributed agents with strategies, or labels, whose payoff depends also on the current position of the agents. The scheme is Lagrangian, as it traces the evolution of position and labels along characteristics, and is a multi-step scheme, as it develops on the following two stages: First, the distribution of strategies or labels is updated according to a best performance criterion, and then, this is used by the agents to evolve their position. A general convergence result is provided in the space of probability measures. In the special cases of replicator-type systems and reversible Markov chains, variants of the scheme, where the explicit step in the evolution of the labels is replaced by an implicit one, are also considered and convergence results are provided.

AbstractWe consider the Fröhlich Hamiltonian in a mean-field limit where many bosonic particles weakly couple to the quantized phonon field. For large particle numbers and a suitably small coupling, we show that the dynamics of the system is approximately described by the Landau–Pekar equations. These describe a Bose–Einstein condensate interacting with a classical polarization field, whose dynamics is effected by the condensate, i.e., the back-reaction of the phonons that are created by the particles during the time evolution is of leading order.

AbstractWe prove a mean field limit, a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem for a system of point vortices on the 2D torus at equilibrium with positive temperature. The point vortices are formal solutions of a class of equations generalising the Euler equations, and are also known in the literature as generalised inviscid SQG. The mean-field limit is a steady solution of the equations, the CLT limit is a stationary distribution of the equations.
