TITLEHydrodynamic limit of the Klein-Gordon equation

ABSTRACT In this talk, I will consider the hydrodynamic limit (nonrelativistic-semiclassical limit) of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation.

If we rewrite the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation to the hydrodynamic structure, it converges to the compressible Euler equation.

Moreover, if we consider the Klein-Gordon equation directly, it converges to the wave map equation.
