Abstract

We study the dynamics of the thermal momentum distribution function for an interacting, homogeneous Fermi gas on Z³ in the presence of an external weak static random potential, where the pair interactions between the fermions are modeled in dynamical Hartree-Fock theory. We determine the Boltzmann limits associated to different scaling regimes defined by the size of the random potential, and the strength of the fermion interactions.
