A discrete self-gravitating quasi-Keplerian razor-thin axisymmetric stellar disc orbiting a massive black hole sees its orbital structure diffuse on secular timescales as a result of a self-induced resonant relaxation. In the absence of collective effects, such a process is described by the recently derived inhomogeneous multi-mass degenerate Landau equation. Relying on Gauss’ method, we computed the associated drift and diffusion coefficients to characterise the properties of the resonant relaxation of razor-thin discs. For a disc-like configuration in our Galactic centre, we showed how this secular diffusion induces an adiabatic distortion of orbits and estimate the typical timescale of resonant relaxation. When considering a disc composed of multiple masses similarly distributed, we have illustrated how the population of lighter stars will gain eccentricity, driving it closer to the central black hole, provided the distribution function increases with angular momentum. The kinetic equation recovers as well the quenching of the resonant diffusion of a test star in the vicinity of the black hole (the “Schwarzschild barrier”) as a result of the divergence of the relativistic precessions. The dual stochastic Langevin formulation yields consistent results and offers a versatile framework in which to incorporate other stochastic processes.

The usual method of calculating the diagonal matrix elements of an integral power of the radius r in an inverse square quantum system is that due to Waller. His procedure is based on the Schrödinger form of the theory, and utilizes in particular the generating series for the Langueree polynomials. For negative powers, Dirac's very elegant theory of "q-numbers," developed in these 'proceedings' during the early days of quantum mechanics, furnishes an interesting alternative method which appears to have been overlooked, and which we believe is easier. From his theory the following rule can be derived: Suppose that we desire the mean value (diagonal element) of 1/r s , where s is an integer greater than unity. We write down the experssion with A(α l + β l e - i x + γ l e i x ) s-2 A = 16π 4 m 2 z 2 e 4 /( l + ½) n 3 h 4 , α l = 4π 2 m z e 2 / h 2 l ( l +1), β l = 2π 2 m Z e 2 / h 2 ( l +½)( l +1)[1-( l +1) 2 / n 2 ]½, γ l = 2π 2 m z e 2 / h 2 l ( l +½)[1- l 2 / n 2 ]½.
