Rigorous analysis demonstrates many-body dynamics converge to Hartree dynamics in high-density fermionic systems, suggesting local approximation methods are effective.
We give a rigorous derivation of the Hartree equation for the many-body dynamics of pseudo-relativistic Fermi systems at high density 1 ϱ ≫ 1 , on arbitrarily large domains, at zero temperature. With respect to previous works, we show that the many-body evolution can be approximated by the Hartree dynamics locally, proving convergence of the expectation of observables that are supported in regions with fixed volume, independent of ϱ . The result applies to initial data describing fermionic systems at equilibrium confined in arbitrarily large domains, under the assumption that a suitable local Weyl-type estimate holds true. The proof relies on the approximation of the initial data through positive temperature quasi-free states, that satisfy strong local semiclassical bounds, which play a key role in controlling the growth of the local excitations of the quasi-free state along the many-body dynamics.
