On steady states for the Vlasov-Schrödinger-Poisson system

초록

The Vlasov-Schrödinger-Poisson system is a kinetic-quantum hybrid model describing quasi-lower dimensional electron gases. For this system, we construct a large class of 2D kinetic/1D quantum steady states in a bounded domain as generalized free energy minimizers, and we show their finite subband structure, monotonicity, uniqueness and conditional dynamical stability. Our proof is based on the concentration-compactness principle, but some additional difficulties arise due to lack of compactness originated from the hybrid nature (see Remark 1.9). To overcome the difficulties, we introduce a 3-step refinement of a minimizing sequence by rearrangement and partial minimization problems, and the coercivity lemma for the free energy (Lemma 5.3) is crucially employed. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
