Abstract

In this paper, we study exponentially fast mixing induced/enhanced by gravity and stochastic boundary in the kinetic theory of Vlasov equations. We consider the Vlasov equations with and without a vertical magnetic field inside a horizontally-periodic 3D half-space equipped with a non-isothermal diffusive reflection boundary condition of bounded continuous boundary temperature at the bottom. We construct both stationary solutions and global-in-time dynamical solutions in LL^\infty. We prove that moments of a dynamical fluctuation around the steady solutions decay exponentially fast in LL^\infty. As a key of this proof, we establish a uniform bound of so-called residual measures independently of the bouncing number of stochastic characteristics, by constructing a continuous stationary outgoing boundary flux which is strictly positive almost everywhere.
