Compact Core--Shell Equilibria in Gravitational Vlasov--Poisson Systems with Positive and Negative Mass

Naoki Sato

We construct regular, spherically symmetric, compact energy-cutoff equilibria for gravitational Vlasov--Poisson systems sourced by positive and negative mass distributions in the c…

Structural Requirements for Ion-Acoustic Double Layers: A Parametric Perturbation Analysis of the Maxwellian Limit

Hamdi M. Abdelhamid, Abeer A. Mahmoud, Naoki Sato

Standard Maxwellian plasmas exhibit a mathematical \textit{rigidity}, possessing insufficient degrees of freedom to support electrostatic double layers (DLs) and yielding only soli…

Scattering Theory in Noncanonical Phase Space: A Drift-Kinetic Collision Operator for Weakly Collisional Plasmas

Naoki Sato, Philip J. Morrison

After developing a scattering theory for grazing collisions in general noncanonical phase spaces, we introduce a guiding center collision operator in five-dimensional phase space d…

A Collision Operator for Field-Mediated Interactions in General Relativistic Kinetic Theory

Naoki Sato

We develop a Hamiltonian framework for general relativistic kinetic theory on the cotangent bundle of a Lorentzian (pseudo-Riemannian) manifold. Starting from the geode…

Axisymmetric Dynamos Sustained by a Modified Ohm's Law in a Toroidal Volume

Naoki Sato, Kumiko Hori

This work tackles a significant challenge in dynamo theory: the possibility of long-term amplification and maintenance of an axisymmetric magnetic field. We introduce a novel model…

A Collision Operator for Describing Dissipation in Noncanonical Phase Space

Naoki Sato, Philip J. Morrison

The phase space of a noncanonical Hamiltonian system is partially inaccessible due to dynamical constraints (Casimir invariants) arising from the kernel of the Poisson tensor. When…
