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…

Shock waves in plasmas can be characterized by the mechanisms behind their formation. When binary collisions are frequent, dissipation is collision-driven and the shock width is a few mean free paths. In contrast, collisionless shocks rely…

Using linear response theory within the Random Phase Approximation, we investigate the propagation of sound in a uniform two dimensional (2D) Bose gas in the collisionless regime. We show that the sudden removal of a static density…

We propose a new and effective method to find plasma oscillatory and wave modes. It implies searching a pair of poles of two-dimensional (in coordinate $x$ and time $t$) Laplace transform of self-consistent plasma electric field $E(x,t) \to…

Due to ion-electron collisions, it is impossible to derive any two-fluid model for plasma as a direct hydrodynamic limit of the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system for ions and electrons. At the same time, electrons are much lighter than their ion…
