Abstract

We consider a version of the Vlasov equation on the circle under a periodic potential V(x,t)V(x,t) and a repulsing smooth interaction WW. We suppose that the Lagrangian for the single particle has chaotic orbits; using Aubry-Mather theory and ideas of W. Gangbo, A. Tudorascu and P. Bernard, we prove that, for any initial distribution of particles, it is possible to choose their initial speed in such a way to get a chaotic orbit on [0,+)[0,+\infty).
