It is assumed that the initial measure $\\mu_0$ has zero mean, a translation-invariant covariance, and finite mean charge density. We also assume that $\\mu_0$ satisfies a mixing condition of Rosenblatt- or Ibragimov-Linnik-type. The main result is the convergence of $\\mu_t$ to a Gaussian measure as $t\\to\\infty$. The proof uses the study of long time asymptotics of the solution and S.N. Bernstein's ``room-corridor'' method.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-08-24T13:22:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dirac equation", "statistical equilibrium", "convergence", "finite mean charge density", "long time asymptotics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "J.
