In this note we present the main results from the recent work hal-00376547/arXiv:0904.2760, which for the first time establish Landau damping in a nonlinear context.
We consider the quantitative description of a many-particle gas of interacting abelian anyons in the plane, confined in a trapping potential. If the anyons are modeled as bosons with a magnetic flux attachment, and if the total magnetic…

The mechanism of Landau damping is observed in various systems from plasma oscillations to accelerators. Despite its widespread use, some confusion has been created, partly because of the different mechanisms producing the damping but also…
An important physical model describing the dynamics of dilute weakly ionized plasmas in the collisional kinetic theory is the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system for which the plasma responds strongly to the self-consistent electrostatic force.…
We consider the plasma confined in a general axisymmetric spatial domain with perfect conducting boundary which reflects particles specularly, and look at a certain class of equilibria, assuming axisymmetry in the problem. We prove a sharp…
