When studying out-of-equilibrium systems, one often excites the dynamics in some degrees of freedom while removing the excitation in others through damping. In order for the system to converge to a statistical steady state, the dynamics…
Landau damping of Langmuir waves is shown to have hydrodynamic roots, and, in principle, might have been predicted (along with Langmuir waves) several decades earlier, soon after Jeans (1902) paper appeared.

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…
