Abstract We investigate a system of N Brownian particles with the Coulomb interaction in any dimension \(d\ge 2\), and we assume that the initial data are independent and identically distributed with a common density \(\rho _0\) satisfying \(\int _{\mathbb {R}^{d}}\rho _0\ln \rho _0\,\hbox {d}x<\infty \) and \(\rho _0\in L^{\frac{2d}{d+2}} (\mathbb {R}^{d}) \cap L^1(\mathbb {R}^{d}, (1+|x|^2)\,\hbox {d}x)\). We prove that there exists a unique global strong solution for this interacting partsicle system and there is no collision among particles almost surely. For \(d=2\), we rigorously prove the propagation of chaos for this particle system globally in time without any cutoff in the following sense. When \(N\rightarrow \infty \), the empirical measure of the particle system converges in law to a probability measure and this measure possesses a density which is the unique weak solution to the mean-field Poisson–Nernst–Planck equation of single component.

We show that complex hypercontractivity gives better constants than real hypercontractivity in comparison inequalities for (low) moments of Rademacher chaoses (homogeneous polynomials on the discrete cube).

In this paper, we consider particle systems with interaction and Brownian motion. We prove that when the initial data is from the sampling of Chorin's method, i.e., the initial vertices are on lattice points hi∈Rd with mass ρ0(hi)hd, where ρ0 is some initial density function, then the regularized empirical measure of the interacting particle system converges in probability to the corresponding mean-field partial differential equation with initial density ρ0, under the Sobolev norm of L∞(L2)∩L2(H1). Our result is true for all those systems when the interacting function is bounded, Lipschitz continuous and satisfies certain regular condition. And if we further regularize the interacting particle system, it also holds for some of the most important systems of which the interacting functions are not. For systems with repulsive Coulomb interaction, this convergence holds globally on any interval [0,t]. And for systems with attractive Newton force as interacting function, we have convergence within the largest existence time of the regular solution of the corresponding Keller-Segel equation.

Abstract In this paper we develop a new martingale method to show the convergence of the regularized empirical measure of many particle systems in probability under a Sobolev norm to the corresponding mean field PDE. Our method works well for the simple case of Fokker Planck equation and we can estimate a lower bound of the rate of convergence. This method can be generalized to more complicated systems with interactions.
