We have studied the linear dispersion relation for Langmuir waves in plasmas of very high density, based on the Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner formalism. The vacuum contribution to the physical observables leads to ultra-violet divergences, that…
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…
We consider the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system, a classical model for a dilute collisional plasma interacting through Coulombic collisions and with its self-consistent electrostatic field. We establish global stability and well-posedness near…
Within the framework of the hypothesis offered by authors about complex-valued nature of physical quantities, the effect of the Landau damping has been explored with assumption that not only frequency can be a small imaginary component but…

The quantum Langevin equation as obtained from the independent-oscillator model describes a strong-coupling situation, devoid of the Born-Markov approximation that is employed in the context of the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad…
In this paper, we provide a theoretical description, and calculate, the nonlinear frequency shift, group velocity and collionless damping rate, $\nu$, of a driven electron plasma wave (EPW). All these quantities, whose physical content will…
The analysis of nonlocal discrete equations driven by fractional powers of the discrete Laplacian on a mesh of size $h>0$ \[ (-\Delta_h)^su=f, \] for $u,f:\mathbb{Z}_h\to\mathbb{R}$, $0<s<1$, is performed. The pointwise nonlocal formula for…
We have recently proposed a simple relativistic theory which reduces to modified Newtonian dynamics for the weak-field quasistatic situations applied to galaxies, and to cosmological behavior as in the $\Lambda$CDM model, yielding a…
A semiclassical linear response theory based on the Vlasov equation is reviewed. The approach discussed here differs from the classical one of Vlasov and Landau for the fact that the finite size of the system is explicitly taken into…

In this note we discuss the Efimov effect emerging in a three-particle quantum system with zero-range interactions. In particular, we consider two non-interacting identical bosons plus a different lighter particle such that the interaction…
The propagation of an electrostatic wave packet inside a collisionless and initially Maxwellian plasma is always dissipative because of the irreversible acceleration of the electrons by the wave. Then, in the linear regime, the wave packet…
In this paper, we consider the nonlinear Vlasov-Poisson equations in a weakly collisional regime and study the linear Boltzmann collision operator. We prove that Landau damping still occurs in this case.
We report a new effect of a cascade replication of dissipative solitons from a single one. It is discussed in the framework of a common model based on the one-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in which an additional…
``The plasma approximation'' is, in the words of Pauli, ``not even wrong,'' as it expresses a disbelief in the symmetries of the underlying gauge field theory. The electrostatic field in question is divergenceful yet has no sources or…
