Hierarchical foliation of one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system

Abstract

We elucidate the intermediate of the macroscopic fluid model and the microscopic kinetic model by studying the Poisson algebraic structure of the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system. The water-bag model helps formulating the hierarchy of sub-algebras, which interpolates the gap between the fluid and kinetic models. By analyzing the embedding of the sub-manifold of an intermediate hierarchy in a more microscopic hierarchy, we characterize the microscopic effect as the symmetry breaking pertinent to a macroscopic invariant.
