Abstract: We study the instability of solutions to the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell systems in two limiting regimes: the classical limit when the speed of light tends to infinity and the quasineutral limit when the Debye length tends to zero. First, in the classical limit $varepsilono0$, with $varepsilon$ being the inverse of the speed of light, we construct a family of solutions that converge initially polynomially fast to a homogeneous solution $mu$ of Vlasov-Poisson in arbitrarily high Sobolev norms, but become of order one away from $mu$ in arbitrary negative Sobolev norms within time of order $|logvarepsilon|$. Second, we deduce the invalidity of the quasineutral limit in $L^2$ in arbitrarily short time.
