Landau damping is the tendency of solutions to the Vlasov equation towards spatially homogeneous distribution functions. The distribution functions however approach the spatially homogeneous manifold only weakly, and Boltzmann entropy is…
In this paper, Landau diamagnetism is revisited in the context of nonextensive statistical thermodynamics. Exact as well as approximate expressions for partition function, magnetization and susceptibility are obtained by using Hilhorst…
We perform fully kinetic simulations of flows known to produce dynamo in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), considering scenarios with low Reynolds number and high magnetic Prandtl number, relevant for galaxy cluster scale fluctuation dynamos. We…
I show that when non-linearities are taken into account the Landau theory of Fermi liquids predicts the existence of hyperbolic waves in fermionic systems. The zero sound is described by a infinite set of coupled non-linear partial…
Intermolecular forces are modeled by means of a modified Lennard-Jones potential, introducing a distance of minimum approach, and the effect of intermolecular interactions is accounted for with a self consistent field of the Vlasov type. A…
In this paper we investigate the effect of nonlinear damping on the Lugiato-Lefever equation $$ \i \partial_t a = -(\i-\zeta) a - da_{xx} -(1+\i\kappa)|a|^2a +\i f $$ on the torus or the real line. For the case of the torus it is shown that…
The purpose of this paper is to show that, at least for Lagrangians of mechanical type, nonholonomic Euler-Lagrange equations for a nonholonomic linear constraint D may be viewed as non-constrained Euler-Lagrange equations but on a new…
It is known that a finite-size homogeneous granular fluid develops an hydrodynamic-like instability when dissipation crosses a threshold value. This instability is analyzed in terms of modified hydrodynamic equations: first, a source term…
Damping mechanisms in magnetic systems determine the lifetime, diffusion and transport properties of magnons, domain walls, magnetic vortices, and skyrmions. Based on the phenomenological Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, here the effective…
The Hall effects comprise one of the oldest but most vital fields in condensed matter physics, and they persistently inspire new findings, such as quantum Hall effects and topological phases of matter. The recently discovered nonlinear Hall…
The first-order, infinite-component field equations we proposed before for non-relativistic anyons (identified with particles in the plane with noncommuting coordinates) are generalized to accommodate arbitrary background electromagnetic…
We examine the phenomenon of Landau Damping in relativistic plasmas via a study of the relativistic Vlasov-Poisson system (rVP) on the torus for initial data sufficiently close to a spatially uniform steady state. We find that if the steady…
We consider time discretizations of the Vlasov-HMF (Hamiltonian Mean-Field) equation based on splitting methods between the linear and non-linear parts. We consider solutions starting in a small Sobolev neighborhood of a spatially…
Stability of the zero solution plays an important role in the investigation of positive systems. In this note, we revisit the $\mu$-stability of positive nonlinear systems with unbounded time-varying delays. The system is modelled by…
Models of covariant linear electromagnetic constitutive relations are formulated that have wide applicability to the computation of susceptibility tensors for dispersive and inhomogeneous media. A perturbative framework is used to derive a…
This paper is a continuation of [13], where new variational principles were introduced based on the concept of anti-selfdual (ASD) Lagrangians. We continue here the program of using these Lagrangians to provide variational formulations and…
I review some aspects of an alternative model of the quantum Hall effect, which is not based on the presence of disorder potentials. Instead, a quantization of the electronic drift current in the presence of crossed electric and magnetic…
A first principles approach to the nonlinear flow of dense suspensions is presented which captures shear thinning of colloidal fluids and dynamical yielding of colloidal glasses. The advection of density fluctuations plays a central role,…
The Landau problem is discussed in two similar but still different non-commutative frameworks. The ``standard'' one, where the coupling to the gauge field is achieved using Poisson brackets, yields all Landau levels. The ``exotic''…
I examine a model for the Hall effect in the strongly correlated regime. It emerges from an approach proposed in my previous articles [e.g. J. Phys. Chem. Solids, 65 (2004), 1507-1515; J. Geom. Phys., in press, cf. math-ph/0409023]. The…
