Landau damping and Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal (BGK) modes are among the most fundamental concepts in plasma physics. While the former describes the surprising damping of linear plasma waves in a collisionless plasma, the latter describes…
For the damped wave equation on the torus, when some geodesics never meet the positive set of the damping, energy decay rates are known to depend on derivative bounds and growth properties of the damping near the boundary of its support, as…
We construct unique martingale solutions to the damped stochastic wave equation $$ \mu \frac{\partial^2u}{\partial t^2}(t,x)=\Delta u(t,x)-\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}(t,x)+b(t,x,u(t,x))+\sigma(t,x,u(t,x))\frac{dW_t}{dt},$$ where $\Delta$…

We study the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a channel $\Omega=(0,L)\times(0,H)$ with small viscosity $\varepsilon\ll1$, an $\varepsilon$-Navier slip condition on the horizontal walls, and a viscous inflow…
We consider a degenerate abstract wave equation with a time-dependent propagation speed. We investigate the influence of a strong dissipation, namely a friction term that depends on a power of the elastic operator. We discover a threshold…
In this paper we study the Hamiltonian dynamics of charged particles subject to a non-self-consistent stochastic electric field, when the plasma is in the so-called weak turbulent regime. We show that the asymptotic limit of the Vlasov…
In this paper we address the stability of resonantly forced density waves in dense planetary rings. Already by Goldreich & Tremaine (1978) it has been argued that density waves might be unstable, depending on the relationship between the…
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.
This paper is concerned with the large time behavior of solutions to the Euler-Fourier system with damping in $\mathbb{R}^{d}~(d\geq1)$. A time-weighted energy argument has been developed within the $L^2$ framework to derive the optimal…
The effects of linear Landau damping on the nonlinear propagation of dust-acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) are studied in a collisionless unmagnetized dusty plasma with two species of positive ions. The extremely massive, micron-seized, cold…
The energy of solutions of the scalar damped wave equation decays uniformly exponentially fast when the geometric control condition is satisfied. A theorem of Lebeau [leb93] gives an expression of this exponential decay rate in terms of the…

Landau's excitation-based argument for superfluids -- that at temperature $T=0$ the normal fluid density $\rho_{n}$ is zero -- should also apply to supersolids. Further, for a total mass density $\rho$, Leggett argues that the superfluid…
This paper is concerned with the long-time dynamics of the nonlinear wave equation in one-space dimension, $$ u_{tt} - \delta^2 u_{xx} +V'(u) =0 \qquad x\in [0,1] $$ where $\delta>0$ is a parameter and $V(u)$ is a potential bounded from…
In this paper, under the hypothesis that $\rho$ is upper bounded, we construct a Lyapunov functional for the multidimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations and show that the weak solutions decay exponentially to the…
