N/V-limit for Langevin dynamics in continuum
Abstract
We construct an infinite particle/infinite volume Langevin dynamics on the space of configurations in having velocities as marks. The construction is done via a limiting procedure using -particle dynamics in cubes with periodic boundary conditions. A main step to this result is to derive an (improved) Ruelle bound for the canonical correlation functions of -particle systems in with periodic boundary conditions. After proving tightness of the laws of finite particle dynamics, the identification of accumulation points as martingale solutions of the Langevin equation is based on a general study of properties of measures on configuration space (and their weak limit) fulfilling a uniform Ruelle bound. Additionally, we prove that the initial/invariant distribution of the constructed dynamics is a tempered grand canonical Gibbs measure. All proofs work for general repulsive interaction potentials of Ruelle type (e.g. the Lennard-Jones potential) and all temperatures, densities and dimensions .
