The Newtonian limit of the relativistic Boltzmann equation
نویسنده
چکیده
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>c0 for a properly large and positive c0. A local existence and uniqueness theorem is proved in an interval of time independent of c>c0 and conditions are given such that in the limit c→+∞ the solutions converge, in a suitable norm, to the solutions of the non-relativistic Boltzmann equation for hard spheres.

Global Newtonian Limit for the Relativistic Boltzmann Equation near Vacuum
We study the Cauchy problem for the relativistic Boltzmann equation with near vacuum initial data. Unique global-in-time mild solutions are obtained uniformly in the speed of light parameter c ≥ 1. We furthermore prove that solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation converge to solutions of the Newtonian Boltzmann equation in the limit as c→∞ on arbitrary time intervals [0, T ], with conv...
متن کاملNewtonPlus: Approximating Relativistic Effects in Supernova Simulations
We propose an approximation to full relativity that captures the main gravitational effects of dynamical importance in supernovae. The conceptual link between this formalism and the Newtonian limit is such that it could likely be implemented relatively easily in existing multidimensional Newtonian gravitational hydrodynamics codes employing a Poisson solver. As a test of the formalism’s utility...

One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...

We study the local-in-time hydrodynamic limit of the relativistic Boltzmann equation using a Hilbert expansion. More specifically, we prove the existence of local solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation that are nearby the local relativistic Maxwellian constructed from a class of solutions to the relativistic Euler equations that includes a large subclass of near-constant, non-vacuum f...
متن کاملGlobal Solutions to the Ultra-Relativistic Euler Equations
We show that when entropy variations are included and special relativity is imposed, the thermodynamics of a perfect fluid leads to two distinct families of equations of state whose relativistic compressible Euler equations are of Nishida type. (In the non-relativistic case there is only one.) The first corresponds exactly to the StefanBoltzmann radiation law, and the other, emerges most natura...
