Geometric dynamics of Vlasov kinetic theory and its moments
The Vlasov equation of kinetic theory is introduced and the Hamiltonian structure of its moments is presented. Then we focus on the geodesic evolution of the Vlasov moments [1.2]. As a first step, these moment equations generalize the Camassa-Holm equation [3] to its multi-component version [4]. Sub...
