Abstract
We investigate a particle system with mean field interaction living in a random environment characterized by a regime-switching process. The switching process is allowed to be dependent on the particle system. The well-posedness and various properties of the limit conditional McKean-Vlasov SDEs are studied, and the conditional propagation of chaos is established with explicit estimate of the convergence rate.
