Abstract

This paper shows that the spatially homogeneous Balescu-Guernsey-Lenard kinetic equation is associated, at least formally, with a stochastic process that arises naturally as the N →∞ limit of a certain N-particle Hamiltonian system. The process describes the long-time motion of a particle traveling in a Vlasov fluctuation field. The Fokker-Planck equation for the process coincides with the Balescu-Guernsey-Lenard equation whenever the solution is analytic in the velocity variables, but should also be considered as a model in its own right.
