(Pf )(v) = E[f (V ) v] where f is any test function{ on H n and E[ v] is conditional expectation given 1 if V U initial velocity v.if f (V ) = 0 if V / U then (Pf )(v) = probability that V lies in U given initial v. 6 / 39

8 Standard model II - Maxwellian at temperature T where β = 1/κT. dµ β (V ) = 2π ( ) n+1 βm 2 cos θ exp ( βm2 ) 2π V 2 dvol(v ) probability density of scattered directions (Pf )(v) = f (V ) dµ β (V ) independent of v H n 8 / 39
9 Natural requirements on a general P We say that P is natural if µ β is a stationary probability distribution for the velocity Markov chain. The stationary process defined by P and µ β is time reversible. I.e., in the stationary regime, all V j have the surface Maxwellian distribution µ β and the process satisfies P(dV 2 V 1 )dµ β (V 1 ) = P(dV 1 V 2 )dµ β (V 2 ) Time reversibility a.k.a. reciprocity a.k.a. detailed balance. 9 / 39

Theorem (Cook-F, Nonlinearity 2012) Resulting P is natural. The stationary distribution is given by Gibbs state of molecule system with same parameter β as the wall system. 11 / 39

Statistical state of wall is kept constant. Theorem (Thermal equilibrium. Cook-F, Nonlinearity 2012) Resulting operator P is natural. The stationary probability distribution is µ β, where β = 1/κT and T is the mean kinetic energy of each moving part. 15 / 39
16 Cylindrical channels Define for the random flight of a particle starting in the middle of cylinder: s rms root-mean square velocity of gas molecules τ = τ(l, r, s rms ) expected exit time of random flight in channel 16 / 39
17 CLT and Diffusion in channels (anomalous diffusion) Theorem (Chumley, F., Zhang, Transactions of AMS, 2014) Let P be quasi-compact (has spectral gap) natural operator. Then τ(l, r, s rms ) { 1 L 2 D 1 L 2 D k if n k 2 k ln(l/r) if n k = 1 where D = C(P)rs rms. Values of C(P) are described next. Useful for comparison to obtain values of diffusion constant D for the i.i.d. velocity process before looking at specific micro-structures. We call these reference values D / 39
18 Values of D 0 for reference (Trans. AMS, 2014) For any direction u in R k diffusivities for the i.i.d. processes are: 4 2π(n+1) n k (n k) 2 1 rs β when n k 2 and ν = µ β 2 Γ( n 2) π Γ( n+1 2 ) D 0 = 4 rs β 2π(n+1) n k (n k) 2 1 rs when n k 2 and ν = µ when n k = 1 and ν = µ β 2 Γ( n 2) π Γ( n+1 2 ) rs when n k = 1 and ν = µ where s β = (n + 1)/βM and M is particle mass. 18 / 39
19 Values of D 0 for reference (Trans. AMS, 2014) For any direction u in R k diffusivities for the i.i.d. processes are: 4 2π(n+1) n k (n k) 2 1 rs β when n k 2 and ν = µ β 2 Γ( n 2) π Γ( n+1 2 ) D 0 = 4 rs β 2π(n+1) n k (n k) 2 1 rs when n k 2 and ν = µ when n k = 1 and ν = µ β 2 Γ( n 2) π Γ( n+1 2 ) rs when n k = 1 and ν = µ where s β = (n + 1)/βM and M is particle mass.we are, therefore, interested in η u (P) := D u P/D 0 (coefficient of diffusivity in direction u) a signature of the surface s scattering properties. (u is a unit vector in R k.) 19 / 39
20 Numerical example (F-Yablonsky, CES 2006) R = 1 A = 0.7 A = 0.4 A = 0.1 A = molecular radius Diffusivity increases with the radius of probing molecule. 20 / 39
21 Examples in 2-D (C. F. Z., Trans. AMS, 2014) Top: D is smaller then in i.i.d. (perfectly diffusive) case. Middle and bottom: D increases by adding flat top. 21 / 39

23 Diffusivity and the spectrum of P Consider the Hilbert space L 2 (H n, µ β ) of square-integrable functions on velocity space with respect to the stationary measure µ β (0 < β ). Proposition (F-Zhang, Comm. Math. Physics, 2012) The natural operator P is a self-adjoint operator on L 2 (H n, µ β ) with norm 1. In particular, it has real spectrum in the interval [ 1, 1]. In many special cases we have computed, P has discrete spectrum (eigenvalues) or at least a spectral gap. 23 / 39
24 Diffusivity and the spectrum of P Consider the Hilbert space L 2 (H n, µ β ) of square-integrable functions on velocity space with respect to the stationary measure µ β (0 < β ). Proposition (F-Zhang, Comm. Math. Physics, 2012) The natural operator P is a self-adjoint operator on L 2 (H n, µ β ) with norm 1. In particular, it has real spectrum in the interval [ 1, 1]. In many special cases we have computed, P has discrete spectrum (eigenvalues) or at least a spectral gap. Let Π u Z (dλ) := Z u 2 Z u, Π(dλ)Z u, Π the spectral measure of P. Then η u (P) = λ 1 λ Πu (dλ). Example: Maxwell-Smolukowski model: η = 1+λ 1 λ, λ = prob. of specular reflec. 24 / 39
25 Remarks about diffusivity and spectrum From random flight determined by P Brownian motion limit via C.L.T. Random flight in channel Random walk in velocity space D determined by rate of decay of time correlations (Green-Kubo relation) All the information needed for D is contained in the spectrum of P It is difficult to obtain detailed information about the spectrum of P; would like to find approximation more amenable to analysis. 25 / 39
26 Weak scattering and diffusion in velocity space Assume weakly scattering microstructure: P is close to specular reflection. In example below small h small ratio m/m and small surface curvature. In such cases, the sequence V 0, V 1, V 2,... of post-collision velocities can be approximated by a diffusion process in velocity space. If ρ(v, t) is the probability density of velocity distribution ρ t = DivMB Grad MB ρ where MB stands for Maxwell-Boltzmann. 26 / 39
27 Weak scattering and diffusion in velocity space Λ square matrix of (first derivatives in perturbation parameter of) mass-ratios and curvatures. C is a covariance matrix of velocity distributions of wall-system. Definition (MB-grad, MB-div, MB-Laplacian ) On Φ C 0 (Hm ) L 2 (H m, µ β ) (smooth, comp. supported) define (Grad MB Φ)(v) := ] 2 [Λ 1/2 (v m grad v Φ Φ m (v)v) + Tr(CΛ) 1/2 Φ m e m where e m = (0,..., 0, 1) and Φ m is derivative in direction e m. On the pre-hilbert space of smooth, compactly supported square-integrable vector fields on H m with inner product ξ 1, ξ 2 := H m ξ 1 ξ 2 dµ β, define Div MB as the negative of the formal adjoint of Grad MB. Maxwell-Boltzmann Laplacian: L MB Φ = Div MB Grad MB Φ. 27 / 39
28 Weak scattering limit Theorem (F.-Ng-Zhang, Comm. Math. Phys. 2013) Let µ be a probability measure on R k with mean 0, covariant matrix C and finite 2nd and 3rd moments. Let P h be the collision operator of a family of microstructures parametrized by flatness parameter h. Then L MB is second order, essent. self-adjoint, elliptic on C 0 (H m ) L 2 (H m, µ β ). The limit L MB Φ = lim h 0 P h Φ Φ h holds uniformly for each Φ C 0 (Hm ). The Markov chain defined by (P h, µ β ) converges to an Itô diffusion with diffusion PDE ρ t = L MBρ 28 / 39
29 Example: 1-D billiard thermostat Define γ = m 2 /m 1. P γ is operator on L 2 ((0, ), µ). Theorem (Speed of convergence to thermal equilibrium) The following assertions hold for γ < 1/3: 1. P γ is a Hilbert-Schmidt; µ is the unique stationary distribution. Its density relative to Lebesgue measure on (0, ) is ρ(v) = σ 1 v exp ( v 2 ) 2σ For arbitrary initial µ 0 and small γ µ 0 P n γ µ TV C ( 1 4γ 2) n / 39

31 Velocity diffusion for 1-dim billiard thermostat Proposition For γ := m 2 /m 1 < 1/3, if ϕ is a function of class C 3 on (0, ), the MB-billiard Laplacian has the form ( ) (P γ ϕ) (v) ϕ(v) 1 (Lϕ)(v) = lim := γ 0 2γ v v ϕ (v) + ϕ (v). Equivalently, L can be written in Sturm-Liouville form as Lϕ = ρ 1 d ( ρ dϕ ), dv dv which is a densily defined self-adjoint operator on L 2 ((0, ), µ). L is Laguerre differential operator. 31 / 39
32 Example 2: no moving parts Projecting orthogonally from spherical shell to unit disc, cosine law becomes the uniform probability on the disc. Choose a basis of R n that diagonalizes Λ. Proposition (Generalized Legendre operator in dim n) When k = 0, the MB-Laplacian on the unit disc in R n is n (( (L MB Φ)(v) = 2 λ ) i 1 v 2 Φ i )i i=1 32 / 39
