Commutators, mean-field, and supercritical mean-field limits for Coulomb/Riesz gases

This paper is intended as a companion to the author’s talk “Commutator estimates and mean-field limits for Coulomb/Riesz gases” at the 2025 Journées équations aux dérivées partielles in Aussois. The goal is to provide a concise, accessible account of sharp commutator estimates recently obtained for modulated energies associated to Coulomb/Riesz interactions and how these estimates lead to optimal results for mean-field and supercritical mean-field limits of Coulomb/Riesz gas dynamics via the modulated-energy method. The exposition centers on the works [129, 131] with Serfaty and [84] with Hess-Childs and Serfaty.
