| Abstract: | A reformulation of the kinetic theory of N-body gravitational systems, retaining periodic trajectories in the mean field, leads to an intrinsically non-markovian evolution equation, and a √N dependence of the relaxation time. Explicit calculations are carried out for one-dimensional systems. |
