Abstract

We consider relativistic plasma particles subjected to an external gravitation force in a 33D half space whose boundary is a perfect conductor. When the mean free path is much bigger than the variation of electromagnetic fields, the collision effect is negligible. As an effective PDE, we study the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system and its local-in-time unique solvability in the space-time locally Lipschitz space, for several basic mesoscopic (kinetic) boundary conditions: the inflow, diffuse, and specular reflection boundary conditions. We construct weak solutions to these initial-boundary value problems and study their locally Lipschitz continuity with the aid of a weight function depending on the solutions themselves. Finally, we prove the uniqueness of a solution, by using regularity estimate and realizing the Gauss's law at the boundary within Lipschitz continuous space.
