Landau damping: paraproducts and Gevrey regularity

We give a new, simpler, but also and most importantly more general and robust, proof of nonlinear Landau damping on Td\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${\mathbb {T}}^d$$\end{document} in Gevrey-1s\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$-\frac{1}{s}$$\end{document} regularity (s>1/3\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$s > 1/3$$\end{document}) which matches the regularity requirement predicted by the formal analysis of Mouhot and Villani [67]. Our proof combines in a novel way ideas from the original proof of Landau damping Mouhot and Villani [67] and the proof of inviscid damping in 2D Euler Bedrossian and Masmoudi [10]. As in Bedrossian and Masmoudi [10], we use paraproduct decompositions and controlled regularity loss along time to replace the Newton iteration scheme of Mouhot and Villani [67]. We perform time-response estimates adapted from Mouhot and Villani [67] to control the plasma echoes and couple them to energy estimates on the distribution function in the style of the work Bedrossian and Masmoudi [10]. We believe the work is an important step forward in developing a systematic theory of phase mixing in infinite dimensional Hamiltonian systems.
