Homeomorphic modified wave operators for the Vlasov-Poisson system

Abstract

We prove modified scattering for small data solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson system in a functional framework where the initial data, scattering states, and asymptotic convergence are measured in the same topology. In addition, we show that the corresponding wave operators define homeomorphisms between the spaces of initial and scattering data, while enjoying a local Lipschitz continuity property in weaker norms. As a consequence, in the repulsive case, large spherically symmetric solutions are asymptotically stable. The proof relies in particular on the introduction of a suitable system of dynamic coordinates adapted to the asymptotic nonlinear flow.
