Consider the linear transport equation in 1D under an external confining potential \begin{document}$ \Phi $\end{document}: \begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} {\partial}_t f + v {\partial}_x f - {\partial}_x \Phi {\partial}_v f = 0. \end{equation*} $\end{document} For \begin{document}$ \Phi = \frac {x^2}2 + \frac { \varepsilon x^4}2 $\end{document} (with \begin{document}$ \varepsilon >0 $\end{document} small), we prove phase mixing and quantitative decay estimates for \begin{document}$ {\partial}_t \varphi : = - \Delta^{-1} \int_{ \mathbb{R}} {\partial}_t f \, \mathrm{d} v $\end{document}, with an inverse polynomial decay rate \begin{document}$ O({\langle} t{\rangle}^{-2}) $\end{document}. In the proof, we develop a commuting vector field approach, suitably adapted to this setting. We will explain why we hope this is relevant for the nonlinear stability of the zero solution for the Vlasov–Poisson system in \begin{document}$ 1 $\end{document}D under the external potential \begin{document}$ \Phi $\end{document}.
