Scattering map for the Vlasov--Poisson system with a repulsive harmonic potential

Abstract

We consider the Vlasov--Poisson system with a repulsive harmonic potential and prove the (modified) scattering of solutions, as well as the existence of wave operators, in any spatial dimension $d\geq 2$. The main novelty of this work is the construction of the wave operators and the introduction of the lens transform for the Vlasov--Poisson system. In addition, we provide a new and simpler proof that relaxes the assumptions on the initial data compared with those in Bigorgne, Velozo Ruiz, and Velozo Ruiz (2025) and Velozo Ruiz, and Velozo Ruiz (2024).
