Abstract
We study a model describing relaxation dynamics of point vortices, from quasi-stationary state to the stationary state. It takes the form of a mean field equation of Brownian point vortices derived from Chavanis, and is formulated by our previous work as a limit equation of the patch model studied by Robert-Someria. This model is subject to the micro-canonical statistic laws; conservation of energy, that of mass, and increasing of the entropy. We study the existence and nonexistence of the global-in-time solution. It is known that this profile is controlled by a bound of the negative inverse temperature. Here we prove a rigorous result for radially symmetric case. Hence E/M2 large and small imply the global-in-time and blowup in finite time of the solution, respectively. Where E and M denote the total energy and the total mass, respectively.
