We consider a self-gravitating collisionless gas as described by the Vlasov-Poisson or Einstein-Vlasov system or a self-gravitating fluid ball as described by the Euler-Poisson or Einstein-Euler system. We give a simple proof for the finite…

This paper studies the nonlinear Landau damping on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ for the Vlasov-Poisson system with massless electrons (VPME). We consider solutions with analytic or Gevrey ($\gamma > 1/3$) initial data, close to a homogeneous…

This paper investigates nonlinear Landau damping in the 3D Vlasov-Poisson (VP) system. We study the asymptotic stability of the Poisson equilibrium $\mu(v)=\frac{1}{\pi^2(1+|v|^2)^2}$ under small perturbations. Building on the foundational…

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…

Going beyond the linearized study has been a longstanding problem in the theory of Landau damping. In this paper we establish exponential Landau damping in analytic regularity. The damping phenomenon is reinterpreted in terms of transfer of…

In this paper, we study the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau Equations on $\mathbb{T}^3\times \mathbb{R}^3$ with small collision frequency $\nu\ll 1$. We prove that for $\nu$-independent perturbations of the global Maxwellians in Gevrey-$2_-$,…

We discuss the self-consistent dynamics of plasmas by means of hamiltonian formalism for a system of $N$ near-resonant electrons interacting with a single Langmuir wave. The connection with the Vlasov description is revisited through the…
