Abstract

In this paper, we study a Hamiltonian structure of the Vlasov-Poisson system, first mentioned by Fr\"ohlich, Knowles, and Schwarz. To begin with, we give a formal guideline to derive a Hamiltonian on a subspace of complex-valued L2L^2 integrable functions α\alpha on the one particle phase space R2d\mathbb{R}^{2d}, s.t. f=α2f=\left|\alpha\right|^2 is a solution of a collisionless Boltzmann equation. The only requirement is a sufficiently regular energy functional on a subspace of distribution functions fL1f\in L^1. Secondly, we give a full well-posedness theory for the obtained system corresponding to Vlasov-Poisson in d3d\geq3 dimensions. Finally, we adapt the classical globality results for d=3d=3 to the generalized system.
