Abstract: The present work establishes the mean-field limit of a N-particle system towards a regularized variant of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system, following the work of Braun-Hepp [Comm. in Math. Phys. 56 (1977), 101-113] and Dobrushin [Func. Anal. Appl. 13 (1979), 115-123] for the Vlasov-Poisson system. The main ingredients in the analysis of this system are (a) a kinetic formulation of the Maxwell equations in terms of a distribution of electromagnetic potential in the momentum variable, (b) a regularization procedure for which an analogue of the total energy - i.e. the kinetic energy of the particles plus the energy of the electromagnetic field - is conserved and (c) an analogue of Dobrushin's stability estimate for the Monge-Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance between two solutions of the regularized Vlasov-Poisson dynamics adapted to retarded potentials.

Review text

The present work establishes the mean-field limit of a \(N\)-particle system towards a regularized variant of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system, following the work of \textit{W. Braun} and \textit{K. Hepp} [Commun. Math. Phys. 56, No. 2, 101--113 (1977; Zbl 1155.81383)] and of \textit{R. L. Dobrushin} [Funct. Anal. Appl. 13, 115--123 (1979; Zbl 0422.35068)] for the Vlasov-Poisson system. The main ingredients in the analysis of this system are (a) a kinetic formulation of the Maxwell equations in terms of a distribution of the electromagnetic potential in the momentum variable, (b) a regularization procedure for which an analogue of the total energy -- i.e., the kinetic energy of the particles plus the energy of the electromagnetic field -- is conserved and (c) an analogue of Dobrushin's stability estimate for the Monge-Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance between two solutions of the regularized Vlasov-Poisson dynamics adapted to retarded potentials.
