Title:

Nonlinear Phase Mixing in the Einstein-Vlasov System near Schwarzschild Spacetime

Abstract:

We discuss the dynamics of the spherically symmetric Einstein-Vlasov system near Schwarzschild spacetime, for perturbations supported on bounded geodesics, and hence the characteristics of the Vlasov equation remain in a compact set. In this regime the matter does not disperse — the main new difficulty — and one can only hope for decay of time derivatives. Via linear and nonlinear phase mixing in dynamical action-angle variables, we prove polynomial decay of the time derivatives of the energy-momentum tensor and the metric coefficients on a long time interval. The key ingredients are the usage of isotropic coordinate, dynamical action-angle variables, and vector field methods.
