Virial theorem for rotating self-gravitating Brownian particles and two-dimensional point vortices

چکیده
Abstract. We derive the proper form of Virial theorem for a system of rotating self-gravitating Brownian particles. We show that, in the two-dimensional case, it takes a very simple form that can be used to obtain general results about the dynamics of the system without being required to solve the Smoluchowski-Poisson system explicitly. We also develop the analogy between selfgravitating systems and two-dimensional point vortices and derive a Virial-like relation for the vortex system.

Critical mass of bacterial populations and critical temperature of self-gravitating Brownian particles in two dimensions
We show that the critical mass Mc = 8π of bacterial populations in two dimensions in the chemotactic problem is the counterpart of the critical temperature Tc = GMm/4kB of self-gravitating Brownian particles in two-dimensional gravity. We obtain these critical values by using the Virial theorem or by considering stationary solutions of the Keller-Segel model and Smoluchowski-Poisson system. We ...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Brownian vortices
We introduce a stochastic model of two-dimensional Brownian vortices associated with the canonical ensemble. The point vortices evolve through their usual mutual advection but they experience in addition a random velocity and a systematic drift generated by the system as a whole. The statistical equilibrium state of this stochastic model is the Gibbs canonical distribution. We consider a single...
متن کاملLocal stability criterion for self-gravitating disks in modified gravity
We study local stability of self-gravitating fluid and stellar disk in the context of modified gravity theories which predict a Yukawa-like term in the gravitational potential of a point mass. We investigate the effect of such a Yukawa-like term on the dynamics of self-gravitating disks. More specifically, we investigate the consequences of the presence of this term for the local stability of t...
متن کاملExact diffusion coefficient of self-gravitating Brownian particles in two dimensions
Abstract. We derive the exact expression of the diffusion coefficient of a self-gravitating Brownian gas in two dimensions. We show the existence of a critical temperature Tc at which the diffusion coefficient vanishes. For T < Tc the diffusion coefficient is negative and the gas undergoes gravitational collapse. This leads to the formation of a Dirac peak concentrating the whole mass in a fini...
متن کاملNonlinear stationary vortices in gravitating fluid
The problem of nonlinear self-organization of perturbations in differentially rotating, nonuniform, gravitating systems is studied. Two types of stationary nonlinear solutions, in the form of tripolar vortices and vortex chains of gravitational potential and density, dependent on the spatial profiles of the basic state quantities, are found. They propagate with a constant velocity perpendicular...
