Damping of particles interacting with a vibrating medium
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 34 (2017) no. 7, pp. 1727-1758.

We investigate the large time behavior of the solutions of a Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equation where particles are subjected to a confining external potential and a self-consistent potential intended to describe the interaction of the particles with their environment. The environment is seen as a medium vibrating in a direction transverse to particles' motion. We identify equilibrium states of the model and justify the asymptotic trend to equilibrium. The analysis relies on hypocoercivity techniques.
