Derivation of the linear Landau equation and linear Boltzmann equation from the Lorentz model with magnetic field (Q285560)

The purpose of this paper is to provide a rigorous validation of the linear Landau equation with magnetic field \[ (\partial_t+v\cdot\nabla_x+Bv^{\perp}\cdot\nabla_v)g(x,v,t)= \xi\Delta _{S^1}g(x,v,t), \] \[ g(x,v,0)=f_0(x,v), \] where \(\Delta _{S^1}\) is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the circle \(S^1\), \(\xi>0\), and of the linear Boltzmann equation with magnetic field \[ (\partial_t+v\cdot\nabla_x+Bv^{\perp}\cdot\nabla_v)f(x,v,t)=Lf(t,x,v), \] \[ f(x,v,0)=f_0(x,v), \] with \[ Lf(v)=\mu\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\Gamma(\theta)\{f(R(\theta)v)-f(v)\}d\theta. \] Here, \(\Gamma(\theta)\) is the differential cross section associated to the long-range potential \(\psi(|v|)=|x|^{-s}\), the operator \(R(\theta)\) rotates the velocity \(v\) by the angle \(\theta\). This is achieved using the constructive strategy due to \textit{G. Gallovatti} [Grad-Boltzmann limit and Lorentz's Gas. Statistical Mechanics. A short treatise. Berlin: Springer (1999), Appendix 1A2].
