Abstract

In this paper, around a global smooth irrotational solution to the classical isentropic compressible Euler-Poisson system, we construct classical solutions to the one-species relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system on any finite time interval [0,T][0,T], and rigorously justify the combined hydrodynamic and Newtonian limits to the Euler-Poisson system. In particular, this yields a rigorous derivation of the compressible Euler-Poisson system, whose Poisson coupling induces an instantaneous electrostatic response and thus no longer preserves a strict finite-speed propagation structure, from a relativistic kinetic model with finite propagation speed. The analysis is based on a Hilbert expansion in ε\varepsilon for the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system, an asymptotic expansion in c1\mathfrak{c}^{-1} for the relativistic Euler-Maxwell system, and estimates that are uniform in c\mathfrak{c} and ε\varepsilon for both the expansion coefficients and the remainder terms under the restriction cε1\mathfrak{c} \varepsilon \leq 1. This restriction on c\mathfrak{c} is solely for closing the uniform remainder estimates.
