We consider the linear Wigner–Fokker–Planck equation subject to confining potentials which are smooth perturbations of the harmonic oscillator potential. For a certain class of perturbations we prove that the equation admits a unique stationary solution in a weighted Sobolev space. A key ingredient of the proof is a new result on the existence of spectral gaps for Fokker–Planck type operators in certain weighted L2-spaces. In addition we show that the steady state corresponds to a positive density matrix operator with unit trace and that the solutions of the time-dependent problem converge towards the steady state with an exponential rate.

AbstractWe propose and study a model describing an infinite population of point entities arriving in and departing from $$X=\mathbb {R}^d$$ X = R d , $$d\ge 1$$ d ≥ 1 . The already existing entities force each other to leave the population (repulsion) and attract the newcomers. The evolution of the population states is obtained by solving the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. Without interactions, the evolution preserves states in which the probability $$p(n,\Lambda )$$ p ( n , Λ ) of finding n points in a compact vessel $$\Lambda \subset X$$ Λ ⊂ X obeys the Poisson law. As we show, for pure attraction the decay of $$p(n,\Lambda )$$ p ( n , Λ ) with $$n\rightarrow +\infty $$ n → + ∞ may be essentially slower. The main result is the statement that in the presence of repulsion—even of an arbitrary short range—the evolution preserves states in which the decay of $$p(n,\Lambda )$$ p ( n , Λ ) is at most Poissonian. We also derive the corresponding kinetic equation, the numerical solutions of which can provide more detailed information on the interplay between attraction and repulsion. Further possibilities in studying the proposed model are also discussed.

In this work, we show the spectrum structure of the linear Fokker–Planck equation by using the semigroup theory and the linear operator perturbation theory. As an application, we show the large time behavior of the solutions to the linear Fokker–Planck equation.
