Modulated Gibbs Measure and Mean-Field Limit for 3D Vlasov--Poisson--Fokker--Planck Equations
Abstract
We introduce a modulated Gibbs measure for the usual tensorized initial data for stochastic Newton's systems with singular repulsive interactions. Using the uniform-in-N partition-function estimates of Wang--Zhao \cite{wang2026uniform}, we show that the modulated Gibbs measure and its tensorized reference are O(N−1)-close in normalized relative entropy. A stability argument then transfers propagation of chaos from modulated Gibbs measures to tensorized data and other initial laws at the same entropy scale. Combined with the weighted BBGKY estimates of Bresch--Jabin--Soler \cite{bresch2025new}, this yields the first cutoff-free mean-field limit and propagation of chaos for the three-dimensional Vlasov--Poisson--Fokker--Planck (VPFP) equation on an N-independent short-time interval.
