Phase mixing for the Hartree equation and Landau damping in the semiclassical limit

The asymptotic behaviour of the Hartree equation is studied near translation-invariant steady states. For short-range interaction kernels satisfying a uniform Penrose stability condition, including the screened Coulomb interaction, phase-mixing estimates in finite regularity are established. These demonstrate density decay and scattering of solutions in weighted quantum Sobolev spaces, providing a quantum analogue of Landau damping in classical plasma physics. The results hold uniformly in the semiclassical limit, thereby bridging the quantum and classical regimes.

Abstract

The asymptotic behaviour of the Hartree equation is studied near translation-invariant steady states. For short-range interaction kernels satisfying a uniform Penrose stability condition, including the screened Coulomb interaction, phase-mixing estimates in finite regularity are established. These demonstrate density decay and scattering of solutions in weighted quantum Sobolev spaces, providing a quantum analogue of Landau damping in classical plasma physics. The results hold uniformly in the semiclassical limit, thereby bridging the quantum and classical regimes.
