Title: Nonlinear Landau Damping for the Vlasov–Poisson System in $$\mathbb {R}^3$$: The Poisson Equilibrium
We prove asymptotic stability of the Poisson homogeneous equilibrium among solu- tions of the Vlasov–Poisson system in the Euclidean space R3. More precisely, we show that small, smooth, and localized perturbations of the Poisson equilibrium lead to global solutions of the Vlasov–Poisson system, which scatter to linear solutions at a polynomial rate as t → ∞. The Euclidean problem we consider here differs signif- icantly from the classical work on Landau damping in the periodic setting, in several ways. Most importantly, the linearized problem cannot satisfy a “Penrose condition”. As a result, our system contains resonances (small divisors) and the electric field is a superposition of an electrostatic component and a larger oscillatory component, both with polynomially decaying rates.  more » « less

    Abstract: We construct (modified) scattering operators for the Vlasov–Poisson system in three dimensions, mapping small asymptotic dynamics as t→ - ∞ to asymptotic dynamics as t → + ∞. The main novelty is the construction of modified wave operators, but we also obtain a new simple proof of modified scattering. Our analysis is guided by the Hamiltonian structure of the Vlasov–Poisson system. Via a pseudo-conformal inversion, we recast the question of asymptotic behavior in terms of local in time dynamics of a new equation with singular coefficients which is approximately integrated using a generating function.

    Abstract We prove small data modified scattering for the Vlasov–Poisson system in dimension $d=3$, using a method inspired from dispersive analysis. In particular, we identify a simple asymptotic dynamics related to the scattering mass.

    Abstract We consider the Vlasov–Poisson system with repulsive interactions. For initial data a small, radial, absolutely continuous perturbation of a point charge, we show that the solution is global and disperses to infinity via a modified scattering along trajectories of the linearized flow. This is done by an exact integration of the linearized equation, followed by the analysis of the perturbed Hamiltonian equation in action-angle coordinates.

    We consider solutions of the repulsive Vlasov–Poisson system which are a combination of a point charge and a small gas, i.e., measures of the form\delta_{(\mathcal{X}(t),\mathcal{V}(t))}+\mu^{2}d\mathbf{x}d\mathbf{v}for some(\mathcal{X}, \mathcal{V})\colon \mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}^{6}and a small gas distribution\mu\colon \mathbb{R}\to L^{2}_{\mathbf{x},\mathbf{v}}, and study asymptotic dynamics in the associated initial value problem. If initially suitable moments on\mu_{0}=\mu(t=0)are small, we obtain a global solution of the above form, and the electric field generated by the gas distribution \mudecays at an almost optimal rate. Assuming in addition boundedness of suitable derivatives of \mu_{0}, the electric field decays at an optimal rate, and we derive modified scattering dynamics for the motion of the point charge and the gas distribution. Our proof makes crucial use of the Hamiltonian structure. The linearized system is transport by the Kepler ODE, which we integrate exactly through an asymptotic action-angle transformation. Thanks to a precise understanding of the associated kinematics, moment and derivative control is achieved via a bootstrap analysis that relies on the decay of the electric field associated to\mu. The asymptotic behavior can then be deduced from the properties of Poisson brackets in asymptotic action coordinates.

    Abstract We study the inverse problem of recovering the doping profile in the stationary Vlasov–Poisson equation, given the knowledge of the incoming and outgoing measurements at the boundary of the domain. This problem arises from identifying impurities in the semiconductor manufacturing. Our result states that, under suitable assumptions, the doping profile can be uniquely determined through an asymptotic formula of the electric field that it generates.
