From Landau Equation and Large Deviations to Efficient Simulations of Dynamical Fluctuations

Anwar El Rhirhayi, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Julien Barré

The (deterministic) Landau equation captures the mean long-term evolution of dynamically hot long-range interacting finite- systems. Though successful, this kinetic equation fun…

Very long-term relaxation of harmonic 1D self-gravitating systems

Kerwann Tep, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon

One-dimensional self-gravitating systems admit genuine thermodynamical equilibria. For systems with strictly monotonic orbital frequency profile, the Landau and Balescu-Lenard theo…

Thermodynamic blocking in self-gravitating systems

Barnabás Deme, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry

Building upon a thermodynamic formalism, we show that self-gravitating systems in hydrostatic equilibrium with a uniform density are maximal entropy states when submitted to pertur…

Vector Resonant Relaxation and Statistical Closure Theory. II. One-loop Closure

Sofia Flores, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry

We use stellar dynamics as a testbed for statistical closure theory. We focus on the process of "Vector Resonant Relaxation," a long-range, non-linear, and correlated relaxation me…

Kinetic theory of two-dimensional point vortices at order and

Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Pierre-Henri Chavanis

We investigate the long-term relaxation of a distribution of point vortices in two-dimensional hydrodynamics. To focus on the regime of weak collective amplification, we embed…

On the long-term evolution of razor-thin galactic discs: Balescu-Lenard prediction and perspectives

Mathieu Roule, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon +1

In the last five decades, numerical simulations have provided invaluable insights into the evolution of galactic discs over cosmic times. As a complementary approach, developments…
