These ultra-cold Bose-Fermi mixtures are intrinisically different from gases with only bosons or fermions. Namely, they show a fundamental instability due to energetic considerations coming from the Pauli exclusion principle. Inspired by this activity in the physics community, recently we started exploring the mathematical theory of Bose-Fermi mixtures.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<li>One of the main challenges is understanding the physical scales of the system that allow for suitable analysis.\u00a0 We will describe how we overcame this challenge in the joint work with Esteban C\u00e1rdenas and Joseph Miller by identifying a novel scaling regime in which the fermion distribution behaves semi-clasically, but the boson field remains quantum-mechanical. In this regime, the bosons are much lighter and more numerous than the fermions.<\/li>\n<li>Time permitting, we will also describe new results obtained with Esteban C\u00e1rdenas, Joseph Miller and David Mitrouskas inspired by recent experiments by DeSalvo et al. \u00a0on mixtures of light fermionic atoms and heavy bosonic atoms. A key observation &#8211; and this has been theoretically long predicted &#8211; is the emergence of an attractive fermion-mediated interaction between the bosons. We give a rigorous derivation of fermion-mediated interactions and prove the associated stability-instability transition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The APDE seminar on *Wednesday* 10\/08, will be given by Nata\u0161a Pavlovi\u0107 (UT Austin) in-person in Evans 732,\u00a0and will also be broadcasted online via Zoom from\u00a04:00pm to 5:00pm PDT. **Please note the unusual day and location.** To participate, please email Adam Black (adamblack@berkeley.edu).
