On some bifurcations of Vlasov equation #
Vlasov equation appears in a variety of physical situations involving long-range interactions, the most well-known being plasma physics, where electrons and ions interact through electro-magnetic forces, and self-gravitating systems, where stars – for instance- interact through gravitation. My goal here is to study the qualitative dynamical behavior of Vlasov equation, with an emphasis on universal ones, that is those which do not depend on the underlying physical system. In particular, I will be interested in some bifurcations of the stationary states.
