We study the quantum evolution of many-body Fermi gases in three dimensions, in arbitrarily large domains. We consider both particles with non-relativistic and with relativistic dispersion. We focus on the high-density regime, in the semiclassical scaling, and we consider a class of initial data describing zero-temperature states. In the non-relativistic case we prove that, as the density goes to infinity, the many-body evolution of the reduced one-particle density matrix converges to the solution of the time-dependent Hartree equation, for short macroscopic times. In the case of relativistic dispersion, we show convergence of the many-body evolution to the relativistic Hartree equation for all macroscopic times. With respect to previous work, the rate of convergence does not depend on the total number of particles, but only on the density: in particular, our result allows us to study the quantum dynamics of extensive many-body Fermi gases.
