Finite-$N$ effects unavoidably drive the long-term evolution of long-range interacting $N$-body systems. The Balescu-Lenard kinetic equation generically describes this process sourced by ${1/N}$ effects but this kinetic operator exactly…
Long-range interacting systems irreversibly relax as a result of their finite number of particles, $N$. At order $1/N$, this process is described by the inhomogeneous Balescu--Lenard equation. Yet, this equation exactly vanishes in…
Long-range interacting systems unavoidably relax through Poisson shot noise fluctuations generated by their finite number of particles, $N$. When driven by two-body correlations, i.e. ${1/N}$ effects, this long-term evolution is described…

We investigate the secular dynamics of long-range interacting particles moving on a sphere, in the limit of an axisymmetric mean field potential. We show that this system can be described by the general kinetic equation, the inhomogeneous…
A new kinetic theory Boltzmann-like collision term including correlations is proposed. In equilibrium it yields the one-particle distribution function in the form of a generalised-Lorentzian resembling but not being identical with the…
A dilute gas of hard disks confined between two straight parallel lines is considered. The distance between the two boundaries is in between one and two particle diameters, so that the system is quasi-one-dimensional. A Boltzmann-like…
