Abstract

In this paper, we extend the spectral method developed [Dechicha and Puel, 2023] to any dimension d1d\geqslant 1, in order to construct an eigen-solution for the Fokker-Planck operator with heavy tail equilibria, of the form (1+v2)β2(1+|v|^2)^{-\frac{\beta}{2}}, in the range β]d,d+4[\beta \in ]d,d+4[. The method developed in dimension 1 was inspired by the work of H. Koch on nonlinear KdV equation [Koch, Nonlinearity, 2015]. The strategy in this paper is the same as in dimension 1 but the tools are different, since dimension 1 was based on ODE methods. As a direct consequence of our construction, we obtain the fractional diffusion limit for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation, for the correct density ρ:=Rdfdv\rho := \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} f \mathrm{d}v, with a fractional Laplacian κ(Δx)βd+26\kappa(-\Delta_x)^{\frac{\beta-d+2}{6}} and a positive diffusion coefficient κ\kappa.
