Vlasov equations can be formally derived from N-body dynamics in the mean-field limit. In some suitable singular limits, they may themselves converge to fluid dynamics equations. Motivated by this heuristic, we introduce natural scalings…

Evolution of a Langmuir wave is studied numerically for finite amplitudes slightly above the threshold which separates damping from nondamping cases. Arrest of linear damping is found to be a second-order effect due to ballistic evolution…
The model under consideration is a two-dimensional two-component plasma, i.e., a continuous system of two species of pointlike particles of opposite charges $\pm 1$, interacting through the logarithmic Coulomb interaction. Using the exact…
We propose a one-channel, simple model to describe the dynamics of ultracold dipolar molecules around a F\"orster resonance. Slightly above a specific electric field, a collisional shielding can take place, suppressing the molecular losses…
The motion of a fully ionized plasma of electrons and ions is generally governed by the Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau system. We prove the global existence of solutions near Maxwellians to the Cauchy problem of the system for the long-range…
The kinetic properties of relativistic quark-gluon and electron-photon plasmas are described in the weak coupling limit. The troublesome Rutherford divergence at small scattering angles is screened by Debye screening for the longitudinal or…
We analyse the effect of expansion in Newtonian cosmology on the asymptotic behaviour of charged self-interacting plasmas close to Poisson equilibria. To this end, we study the Vlasov-Poisson system on the phase space of a $3$-torus which…
We investigate the dynamics of overdamped $D$-dimensional systems of particles repulsively interacting through short-ranged power-law potentials, $V(r)\sim r^{-\lambda}\;(\lambda/D>1)$. We show that such systems obey a non-linear diffusion…
Bosonic collective modes are ubiquitous in metals, but over a wide range of energy and momenta suffer from Landau damping, decaying into the continuum of particle-hole excitations. Here we point out that interactions can suppress this…
Snell's law of light deflection between media with different indices of refraction is usually discussed in terms of the Maxwell electromagnetic wave theory. Snell's law may also be derived from a photon beam theory of light rays. This…
The classical two-dimensional one-component plasma is an exactly solvable model, at some special temperature, even when the one-body potential acting on the particles has a quadrupolar term. As a supplement to a recent work of Di Francesco,…
