We take the non-relativistic particles to obey Fermi statistics and discuss the time evolution in a mean-field limit of many fermions which is coupled to a semiclassical limit. At time zero, we assume that the bosons of the radiation field are close to a coherent state and that the state of the fermions is close to a Slater determinant with a certain semiclassical structure. We prove that the many-body state approximately retains its Slater determinant and semiclassical structure at later times and that its time evolution can be approximated by the fermionic Schroedinger-Klein-Gordon equations. We prove the convergence for reduced densities with explicit rates and for all semiclassical times.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-18T05:43:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q55", "81Q05", "81T10", "82C10" ], "keywords": [ "nelson model", "mean-field dynamics", "zero mass quantized scalar field", "time evolution", "non-relativistic particles" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
