Séminaire d'Analyse

We construct critical trajectories in kinetic geometry, i.e. curves in (t,x,v) that are tangential to the transport and v-gradient, connecting any two given points, respecting the underlying kinetic scaling, and matching scaling properties of the stochastic trajectories near the starting point. The construction is based on solving the laws of motions with a forcing made up of desynchronised logarithmic oscillations. These critical trajectories provide an ''almost exponential map'' that allows to prove several functional analytic estimates. In particular they allow to extend to the kinetic setting the universal estimate for the logarithm of positive supersolutions by Moser 1971, and deduce optimal (weak) Harnack inequalities. This is a joint work with Helge Dietert, Lukas Niebel and Rico Zacher.
