We deal with the ``nonrelativistic limit'', i.e. the limit c to infinity, where c is the speed of light, of the nonlinear PDE system obtained by coupling the Dirac equation for a 4-spinor to the Maxwell equations for the self-consistent…
We prove that solutions of the 3D relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system can be extended, as long as the quantity $\sigma_{-1}(t, x) = \max_{|\omega|=1} \,\int_{R^3} \frac{dp}{\sqrt{1+p^2}}\, \frac{1}{(1+v\cdot\omega)}\, f(t, x, p)$ is bounded…
This article is devoted to the Relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system in space dimension three. We prove the local smooth solvability for weak topologies (and its long time version for small data). This result is derived from a representation…
We examine numerically and analytically the problem of the relativistic velocity distribution in a 1-dim relativistic gas in thermal equilibrium. Our derivation is based on the special theory of relativity, the central limit theorem and the…
The relativistic Boltzmann equation for a constant differential cross section and with periodic boundary conditions is considered. The speed of light appears as a parameter $c>c_0$ for a properly large and positive $c_0$. A local existence…
While a fully relativistic collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Maxwell system a good approximation in the non-relativistic limit is given by the Vlasov-Poisson system. We modify the Vlasov-Poisson system so that damping due to the…
We analyse a reduced 1D Vlasov--Maxwell system introduced recently in the physical literature for studying laser-plasma interaction. This system can be seen as a standard Vlasov equation in which the field is split in two terms: an…
We prove almost sharp decay estimates for the small data solutions and their derivatives of the Vlasov-Maxwell system in dimension $n \geq 4$. The smallness assumption concerns only certains weighted $L^1$ or $L^2$ norms of the initial…
We show that weak solutions of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system preserve the total energy provided that the electromagnetic field is locally of bounded variation and, for any $\lambda$> 0, the one-particle distribution function has a…
We derive relativistic Maxwell-Bloch equations for potential applications in astronomical environments, where various radiative processes are known to occur, including the maser action and Dicke's superradiance. We show that for both…
We prove the global asymptotic stability of the Minkowski space for the massless Einstein-Vlasov system in wave coordinates. In contrast with previous work on the subject, no compact support assumptions on the initial data of the Vlasov…
We study radially symmetric solutions to the 2D Vlasov-Maxwell system and construct solutions that initially possess arbitrarily small $C^k$ norms ($k \geq 1$) for the charge densities and the electric fields, but attain arbitrarily large…
At least one dimensionless physical constant (i.e., a physically observable) must change for the cosmic time to make the varying speed of light (VSL) models phenomenologically feasible. Various physical constants and quantities also should…
We show that nonrelativsitic scaling of the collisionless Vlasov-Maxwell system implies the existence of a formal invariant slow manifold in the infinite-dimensional Vlasov-Maxwell phase space. Vlasov-Maxwell dynamics restricted to the slow…
We find the probability density function $\mathcal{P}(V_{\texttt{r}})$ of the relativistic relative velocity for two colliding particles in a non-degenerate relativistic gas. The distribution reduces to Maxwell distribution for the relative…
A global solvability result of the Cauchy problem of the two-species Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau system near a given global Maxwellian is established by employing an approach different than that of [5]. Compared with that of [5], the minimal…
We construct global-in-time classical solutions to the nonlinear Vlasov-Maxwell system in a three-dimensional half-space beyond the vacuum scattering regime. Our approach combines the construction of stationary solutions to the associated…
In this paper we study the large-time behavior of classical solutions to the two-species Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system in the whole space $\R^3$. The existence of global in time nearby Maxwellian solutions is known from [34] in 2006.…
The time evolution of a collisionless plasma is modeled by the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system which couples the Vlasov equation (the transport equation) with the Maxwell equations of electrodynamics. We consider the case that the plasma…
Euler--Maxwell systems describe the dynamics of inviscid plasmas. In this work, we consider an incompressible two-dimensional version of such systems and prove the existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions, uniformly with respect to…
