Abstract

For classical N-particle systems with pair interaction N-1 {Mathematical expression} ø(qi-qi) the Vlasov dynamics is shown to be the w*-limit as N→∞. Propagation of molecular chaos holds in this limit, and the fluctuations of intensive observables converge to a Gaussian stochastic process.
