Abstract
We discuss qualitatively a number of examples of TDHF-like equations that have arisen in model field theories and in (more physically relevant) quasi-one-dimensional condensed matter systems. These examples illustrate several phenomena seen in the (technically much more complicated) applications to nuclear physics and offer a new and perhaps invigorating perspective on TDHF.

In one space dimension the Dirac y matrices can be represented by the Pauli matrices, a.. Note that, following the conventions in the literature, we use different representations for the y matrices in the Gross-Neveu model and in the continuum electron-phonon model of polyacetylene. Hence the components of the wave functions in the two cases are linear combinations of each other.
