The uniform-in-time electrostatic limit of the linearised Vlasov-Maxwell system: the Poisson equilibrium
Abstract
The Vlasov-Maxwell system with Newtonian particle transport is linearised about the Poisson equilibrium on ℝ3, with the speed of light c treated as a large parameter. For uniformly controlled initial data, with transverse fields that may remain of order one, the difference between the Vlasov-Maxwell perturbation and its linearised Vlasov-Poisson counterpart is bounded uniformly in time by their initial discrepancy plus a term of order c−1. The same estimate holds for their scattering states, and the rate in c is sharp. The longitudinal dynamics are governed by the same Volterra equation as in linearised Vlasov-Poisson and undergo Landau damping. The transverse fields exhibit Klein-Gordon-type dispersion, and control of their accumulated effect along free transport yields the uniform comparison.
