Abstract: We give a new, simpler, but also and most importantly more general and robust, proof of nonlinear Landau damping on $${\mathbb {T}}^d$$ in Gevrey $$-\frac{1}{s}$$ regularity ( $$s > 1/3$$ ) which matches the regularity requirement predicted by the formal analysis of Mouhot and Villani [67]. Our proof combines in a novel way ideas from the original proof of Landau damping Mouhot and Villani [67] and the proof of inviscid damping in 2D Euler Bedrossian and Masmoudi [10]. As in Bedrossian and Masmoudi [10], we use paraproduct decompositions and controlled regularity loss along time to replace the Newton iteration scheme of Mouhot and Villani [67]. We perform time-response estimates adapted from Mouhot and Villani [67] to control the plasma echoes and couple them to energy estimates on the distribution function in the style of the work Bedrossian and Masmoudi [10]. We believe the work is an important step forward in developing a systematic theory of phase mixing in infinite dimensional Hamiltonian systems.
