Global classical solutions to the 3D Nordström-Vlasov system (Q881631)

The article is concerned with the Cauchy problem for the Nordström-Vlasov system, presenting a Lorentz invariant kinetic model describing the evolution of self-gravitating collisionless matter under the assumption that the gravitational forces are mediated by a scalar field. The main result is an existence theorem of a unique global solution of this system in three dimensions for smooth initial data of the scalar field and smooth initial particle density with compact support.
