Abstract

We discuss the kinetic theories of stellar systems twodimensional vortices and Hamiltonian mean field model stressing their analogies and differences We describe the evolution of the system as a whole and discuss the timescale of relaxation towards the Boltzmann distribution predicted by statistical mechanics We also consider the relaxation of a “test” particle in a bath of “field” particles and analyze it with the aid of a Fokker–Planck equation involving a term of diffusion counterbalanced by a friction or a drift
