| contents | We first prove a homogenization result for the fundamental solution of the linear kinetic Fokker Planck equation. We show that this solution converges, in an averaged $L^2$ sense, to the fundamental solution of an effective heat equation with constant effective diffusivity determined by corrector functions solving associated cell problems on the torus. A key feature of the proof is the necessity of second-order correctors to control the averaging of the velocity variable, and the handling of a non-divergence form error term arising from limited spatial regularity of solutions.
Additionally, building on this homogenization result, we establish a large-scale regularity result for solutions of this Fokker Planck equation. More specifically, we show that solutions by heterogeneous polynomials, analogous to Taylor polynomials, with an explicit error on large scale domains. Furthermore, we show that in a larger regime, this approximating polynomial solves this Fokker Planck equation. |
