Abstract
The Cauchy problem for the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann equations (VMB) is considered. First the renormalized solution to the Vlasov equation with the Lorentz force is discussed and the difficulty on the partial differentiability of the coefficients is overcome. Then the weak stability of the renormalized solutions to the Cauchy problem of VMB is established using the compactness of velocity averages and a renormalized formulation. Furthermore, the large time behavior of the renormalized solutions to VMB is studied and it is proved that the density of particles tends to a local Maxwellian as the time goes to infinity.
