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…

We are concerned with the uniqueness of weak solution to the spatially homogeneous Landau equation with Coulomb interactions under the assumption that the solution is bounded in the space $L^\infty(0,T,L^p(\R^3))$ for some $p>3/2$. The…

Realistic effective interparticle interactions of quantum many-body systems are widely seen as being short-range. However, the rigorous mathematical analysis of this type of model turns out to be extremely difficult, in general, with many…
