Lecture
From Boltzmann to Vlasov equation
Description
This lecture covers the derivation of the Vlasov equation from the Boltzmann equation, focusing on the evolution of the distribution function in phase space, conservation laws, and formal solutions. It discusses the incompressibility of the motion of particles, the neglect of collisions, and the conservation of energy and momentum.
