On blowup for time-dependent generalized Hartree-Fock equations

We prove finite-time blowup for spherically symmetric and negative energy solutions of Hartree–Fock and Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov-type equations, which describe the evolution of attractive fermionic systems (e.g. white dwarfs). Our main results are twofold: first, we extend the recent blowup result of Hainzl and Schlein (Comm. Math. Phys. 287:705–714, 2009) to Hartree–Fock equations with infinite rank solutions and a general class of Newtonian type interactions. Second, we show the existence of finite-time blowup for spherically symmetric solutions of a Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov model, where an angular momentum cutoff is introduced. We also explain the key difficulties encountered in the full Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov theory.
