Mean Field Limit and Propagation of Chaos for Vlasov Systems with Bounded Forces

We consider large systems of particles interacting through rough but bounded interaction kernels. We are able to control the relative entropy between the $N$-particle distribution and the expected limit which solves the corresponding Vlasov system. This implies the Mean Field limit to the Vlasov system together with Propagation of Chaos through the strong convergence of all the marginals. The method works at the level of the Liouville equation and relies on precise combinatorics results.
