Rate of Convergence Towards Semi-Relativistic Hartree Dynamics

Abstract

We consider the semi-relativistic system of $N$ gravitating Bosons with gravitation constant $G$. The time evolution of the system is described by the relativistic dispersion law, and we assume the mean-field scaling of the interaction where $N \to \infty$ and $G \to 0$ while $GN = λ$ fixed. In the super-critical regime of large $λ$, we introduce the regularized interaction where the cutoff vanishes as $N \to \infty$. We show that the difference between the many-body semi-relativistic Schrödinger dynamics and the corresponding semi-relativistic Hartree dynamics is at most of order $N^{-1}$ for all $λ$, i.e., the result covers the sub-critical regime and the super-critical regime. The $N$ dependence of the bound is optimal.
