Kinetic theory of ${1D}$ homogeneous long-range interacting systems sourced by ${1/N^{2}}$ effects
Abstract
The long-term dynamics of long-range interacting -body systems can generically be described by the Balescu-Lenard kinetic equation. However, for homogeneous systems, this collision operator exactly vanishes by symmetry. These systems undergo a kinetic blocking, and cannot relax as a whole under resonant effects. As a result, these systems can only relax under effects, and their relaxation is drastically slowed down. In the context of the homogeneous Hamiltonian Mean Field model, we present a new, closed and explicit kinetic equation describing self-consistently the very long-term evolution of such systems, in the limit where collective effects can be neglected, i.e. for dynamically hot initial conditions. We show in particular how that kinetic equation satisfies an -Theorem that guarantees the unavoidable relaxation to the Boltzmann equilibrium distribution. Finally, we illustrate how that kinetic equation quantitatively matches with the measurements from direct -body simulations.
