Isabelle Gallagher Some results on the convergence from Newtonian to Boltzmann dynamics.
Abstract: The Boltzmann equation is known to derive from the Newtonian equations of a large system of particles, obeying elastic collisions or submitted to a repulsive short-range potential, in the limit when the number of particles goes to infinity under a rarefaction assumption. In this talk we shall give the main steps of the rigorous derivation of this equation; unfortunately to this day this derivation is only known for a very short time (roughly a fraction of the time after which each particle has undergone O(1) collisions) and the question of extending the result to larger times is an important, open question.
