We revisit Villani's approach to the study of hypocoercive diffusion operators by applying a variant of the Bakry-\'Emery machinery. The method relies on a generalized Bakry-\'Emery type criterion that applies to Kolmogorov type operators.…
We present a priori estimates and unique solvability results in the mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces for kinetic Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck (KFP) equation in divergence form. The leading coefficients are bounded uniformly nondegenerate with respect…
Based on a general discrete model for a semiflexible polymer chain, we introduce a formal derivation of a kinetic equation for semiflexible polymers in the half-plane via a continuum limit. It turns out that the resulting equation is the…
This paper deals with the study of some particular kinetic models, where the randomness acts only on the velocity variable level. Usually, the Markovian generator cannot satisfy any Poincar\'e's inequality. Hence, no Gronwall's lemma can…

We prove a Harnack inequality for distributional solutions to a type of degenerate elliptic PDEs in $N$ dimensions. The differential operators in question are related to the Kolmogorov operator, made up of the Laplacian in the last $N-1$…
We present a general approach to obtain a weak Harnack inequality for rough hypoellipitic equations, e.g. kinetic equations. The proof is constructive and does not study the commutator structure but rather compares the rough solution with a…
We study various probabilistic and analytical properties of a class of degenerate diffusion operators arising in Population Genetics, the so-called generalized Kimura diffusion operators. Our main results is a stochastic representation of…
We present a kinetic theory for inhomogeneous systems with weak long-range interactions. Starting from the Klimontovich equation and using a quasilinear theory, we obtain a closed kinetic equation describing the relaxation of the…
We study the long time behaviour of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with mean field interaction, whose limit is often called Vlasov-Fkker-Planck equation. We prove a uniform (in the number of particles) exponential convergence to…
By further developing the generalized $\Gamma$-calculus for hypoelliptic operators, we prove hypocoercive estimates for a large class of Kolmogorov type operators which are defined on non necessarily totally geodesic Riemannian foliations.…
We study nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations of Fokker-Planck type which can be viewed as gradient flows with respect to the recently introduced spherical Hellinger-Kantorovich distance. The driving entropy is not assumed to be…
We establish the boundedness of weak subsolutions for a class of degenerate Kolmogorov equations of hypoelliptic type, compatible with a homogeneous Lie group structure, within bounded product domains using the De Giorgi iteration. We…
We consider Fokker-Planck equations with tilted periodic potential in the subcritical regime and characterize the spatio-temporal dynamics of the partial masses in the limit of vanishing diffusion. Our convergence proof relies on suitably…
This article is concerned with the Schauder estimate for linear kinetic Fokker-Planck equations with H\"older continuous coefficients. This equation has an hypoelliptic structure. As an application of this Schauder estimate, we prove the…
We establish H\"older and Harnack estimates for weak solutions of a class of elliptic nonlocal equations that are modeled on integro-differential operators with kernels of measure. The approach is of De Giorgi-type, as developed by…
We consider stochastic partial differential equations under minimal assumptions: the coefficients are merely bounded and measurable and satisfy the stochastic parabolicity condition. In particular, the diffusion term is allowed to be…
In this article, we are interested in the asymptotic analysis of a finite volume scheme for one dimensional linear kinetic equations, with either Fokker-Planck or linearized BGK collision operator. Thanks to appropriate uniform estimates,…
We prove a Nash-Aronson-type upper bound on the fundamental solution of the linear kinetic Fokker Planck equation with friction term, distinguishing two regimes. For long times, we derive a Gaussian upper bound matching the classical…
