A rigorous derivation of the incompressible Euler equations with the no-penetration boundary condition from the Boltzmann equation with the diffuse reflection boundary condition has been a challenging open problem. We settle this open…

The Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau (VML) system and the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann (VMB) system are fundamental models in dilute collisional plasmas. In this paper, we are concerned with the hydrodynamic limits of both the VML and the non-cutoff VMB…

We consider partition functions Z(g) = exp (-g(x))dx where g is a nonnegative polynomial action (a degree-2n form) vanishing only at the origin. Such integrals, known as integral discriminants, appear in statistical mechanics, quantum field…
