Nonlinear instability of inhomogeneous steady states solutions to the HMF Model

In this work we prove the nonlinear instability of inhomogeneous steady states solutions to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model. We first study the linear instability of this model under a simple criterion by adapting the techniques developed in [19]. In a second part, we extend to the inhomogeneous case some techniques developed in [14, 17, 18] and prove a nonlinear instability result under the same criterion.

Nonlinear stability criteria for the HMF Model

We study the nonlinear stability of a large class of inhomogeneous steady state solutions to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model. Under a simple criterion, we prove the nonlinear stability of steady states which are decreasing functions of the microscopic energy. To achieve this task, we extend to this context the strategy based on generalized rearrangement techniques which was developed recently for the gravitational Vlasov-Poisson equation. Explicit stability inequalities are established and our analysis is able to treat non compactly supported steady states to HMF, which are physically relevant in this context but induces additional difficulties, compared to the Vlasov-Poisson system.
