Abstract

The Vlasov equation models a group of particles moving under a potential VV; moreover, each particle exerts a force, of potential WW, on the other ones. We shall suppose that these particles move on the pp-dimensional torus Tp{\bf T}^p and that the interaction potential WW is smooth. We are going to perturb this equation by a Brownian motion on Tp{\bf T}^p; adapting to the viscous case methods of Gangbo, Nguyen, Tudorascu and Gomes, we study the existence of periodic solutions and the asymptotics of the Hopf-Lax semigroup.
