The secular evolution of discrete quasi-Keplerian systems. I. Kinetic theory of stellar clusters near black holes
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon, John Magorrian
We derive the kinetic equation that describes the secular evolution of a large set of particles orbiting a dominant massive object, such as stars bound to a supermassive black hole…
Functional integral derivation of the kinetic equation of two-dimensional point vortices
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Pierre-Henri Chavanis, Christophe Pichon
We present a brief derivation of the kinetic equation describing the secular evolution of point vortices in two-dimensional hydrodynamics, by relying on a functional integral forma…
Secular diffusion in discrete self-gravitating tepid discs III. Resonant thickening in the tightly wound limit
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon, Pierre-Henri Chavanis
The secular thickening of a discrete self-gravitating galactic disc is investigated using the inhomogeneous multi-component Balescu-Lenard equation. The thick WKB limit for the dif…
Resonant thickening of self-gravitating discs: imposed or self-induced orbital diffusion in the tightly wound limit
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon, Pierre-Henri Chavanis +1
The secular thickening of a self-gravitating stellar galactic disc is investigated using the dressed collisionless Fokker-Planck equation and the inhomogeneous multicomponent Bales…
Functional integral approach to the kinetic theory of inhomogeneous systems
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Pierre-Henri Chavanis, Christophe Pichon
We present a derivation of the kinetic equation describing the secular evolution of spatially inhomogeneous systems with long-range interactions, the so-called inhomogeneous Landau…
