From N-Body Schrödinger to Euler-Poisson
This talk presents a joint mean-field and classical limit by which the Euler-Poisson system is rigorously derived from the N-body Schrödinger equation with Coulomb interaction in space dimension 3. One of the key ingredients in this derivation is a remarkable inequality for the Coulomb potential which has been obtained by S. Serfaty in 2020 (Duke Math. J.). 2)

The Pauli-Poisson equation and its cassical limit
The Pauli-Poisson equation is a semi-relativistic description of electrons under the influence of a given linear (strong) magnetic field and a self-consistent electric potential computed from the Poisson equation in 3 space dimensions. It is a system of two magnetic Schrödinger type equations for the two components of the spinor, coupled by the additional Stern-Gerlach term of magnetic field and spin represented by the Pauli matrices. On the other hand the Pauli-Poiswell equation includes the self-consistent description of the magnetic field by coupling it via a three Poisson equations with the Pauli current as source term to the Pauli equation. The Pauli-Poiswell equation offers a fully self-consistent description of spin-1/2-particles in the semi-relativistic regime. We introduce the equations and study the semiclassical limit of Pauli-Poisson towards a semi-relativistic Vlasov equation with Lorentz force coupled to the Poisson equation. We use Wigner transform methods and a mixed state formulation, extending the work of Lions-Paul and Markowich-Mauser on the semiclassical limit of the Schrödinger-Poisson equation. We also present a result on global weak solutions of the Pauli-Poiswell equation.

Trying to prove quasilinear theory in plasma physics
The aim of quasilinear theory is to explain relaxation or saturation of kinetic instabilities governed by the Vlasov-Poisson (VP) equation, by showing that in fact the Hamiltonian dynamics of VP can be approximated by a diffusion equation in velocity for the space-average distribution function.
