These notes deal with the mean-field approximation for equilibrium states of N-body systems in classical and quantum statistical mechanics. A general strategy for the justification of effective models based on statistical independence assumptions is presented in details. The main tools are structure theorems {\`a} la de Finetti, describing the large N limits of admissible states for these systems. These rely on the symmetry under exchange of particles, due to their indiscernability. Emphasis is put on quantum aspects, in particular the mean-field approximation for the ground states of large bosonic systems, in relation with the Bose-Einstein condensation phenomenon. Topics covered in details include: the structure of reduced density matrices for large bosonic systems, Fock-space localization methods, derivation of effective energy functionals of Hartree or non-linear Schr{\"o}dinger type, starting from the many-body Schr{\"o}dinger Hamiltonian.

  1. Exponential de Finetti Theorems for Fermionic Gaussian States

    quant-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Subsystems of permutation-invariant fermionic Gaussian states are exponentially well approximated by mixtures of almost-i.i.d. states, and all Gaussian-invariant states admit Gaussian-symmetric purifications.

  2. Semi-classical limit of an attractive Fermi gas in one or two dimensions

    math-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    For trapped attractive Fermi gases in 1D and 2D, as N grows the ground-state energy approaches the Thomas-Fermi energy, and ground states converge via Husimi functions.
