Abstract

We consider a system of N particles interacting via a short-range smooth potential, in a intermediate regime between the weak-coupling and the low-density. We provide a rigorous derivation of the Linear Landau equation from this particle system. The strategy of the proof consists in showing the asymptotic equivalence between the one-particle marginal and the solution of the linear Boltzmann equation with vanishing mean free path.Then, following the ideas of Landau, we prove the asympotic equivalence between the solutions of the Boltzmann and Landau linear equation in the grazing collision limit.
