We study the linearized Vlasov-Poisson system around suitably stable homogeneous equilibria on $\mathbb{R}^d\times \mathbb{R}^d$ (for any $d \geq 1$) and establish dispersive $L^\infty$ decay estimates in the physical space.
Numerical evidence is given that spherically symmetric perturbations of stable spherically symmetric steady states of the gravitational Vlasov-Poisson system lead to solutions which oscillate in time. The oscillations can be periodic in…
We investigate spherically symmetric equilibrium states of the Vlasov-Poisson system, relevant in galactic dynamics. We recast the equations into a regular three-dimensional system of autonomous first order ordinary differential equations…
In this paper we study the fluctuation spectrum of a linearized Vlasov-Poisson equation in the presence of a small external electric field. Conditions for the control of the linear fluctuations by an external electric field are established.
We consider the Vlasov-Poisson system with initial data a small, radial, absolutely continuous perturbation of a point charge. We show that the solution is global and disperses to infinity via a modified scattering along trajectories of the…

We numerically analyse solutions of the spherically symmetric gravitational Vlasov-Poisson system close to compactly supported stable steady states. We observe either partially undamped oscillations or macroscopically damped solutions. We…

By identifying a norm capturing the effect of the forcing governed by the Poisson equation, we give a detailed spectrum analysis on the linearized Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system around a global Maxwellian. It is shown that the electric…
Equilibrium states in galactic dynamics can be described as stationary solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system, which is the non-relativistic case, or of the Vlasov-Einstein system, which is the relativistic case. To obtain spherically…
We obtain a natural extension of the Vlasov-Poisson system for stellar dynamics to spaces of constant Gaussian curvature $\kappa\ne 0$: the unit sphere $\mathbb S^2$, for $\kappa>0$, and the unit hyperbolic sphere $\mathbb H^2$, for…
A rotating continuum of particles attracted to each other by gravity may be modeled by the Euler-Poisson system. The existence of solutions is a very classical problem. Here it is proven that a curve of solutions exists, parametrized by the…
We study a Newtonian model which allows us to describe some extremely flat objects in galactic dynamics. This model is described by a partial differential equation system called Vlasov-Poisson, whose solutions describe the temporal…
The purpose of this paper is to study the relations between different concepts of dispersive solution for the Vlasov-Poisson system in the gravitational case. Moreover we give necessary conditions for the existence of partially and totally…
We study the existence of stationary solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system with finite radius and finite mass in the stellar dynamics case. So far, the existence of such solutions is known only under the assumption of spherical symmetry.…
Certain steady states of the Vlasov-Poisson system can be characterized as minimizers of an energy-Casimir functional, and this fact implies a nonlinear stability property of such steady states. In previous investigations by Y. Guo and the…
We consider a family of isolated inhomogeneous steady states to the gravitational Vlasov-Poisson system with a point mass at the centre. They are parametrised by the polytropic index $k>1/2$, so that the phase space density of the steady…
A collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Poisson system in three space dimensions. A fixed background of positive charge - dependant upon only velocity - is assumed. The situation in which mobile negative ions balance the positive…
It is well known that steady states of the Vlasov-Poisson system, a widely used model in non-relativistic galactic dynamics, have negative energy. In this paper we derive the analogous property for two relativistic generalizations of the…
The present paper completes our earlier results on nonlinear stability of stationary solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system in the stellar dynamics case. By minimizing the energy under a mass-Casimir constraint we construct a large class of…
