Abstract: Recently, M.K.-H. Kiessling and A.S. Tahvildar-Zadeh proved that a unique global classical solution to the relativistic Vlasov-Poisson system exists whenever the positive, integrable initial datum is spherically symmetric, compactly supported in momentum space, vanishes on characteristics with vanishing angular momentum, and for $$ has $$-norm strictly below a positive, critical value $$. Everything else being equal, data leading to finite time blow-up can be found with $$-norm surpassing $$ for any $$, with $$ if and only if $$. In their paper, the critical value for $$ is calculated explicitly while the value for all other $$ is merely characterized as the infimum of a functional over an appropriate function space. In this work, the existence of minimizers is established, and the exact expression of $$ is calculated in terms of the famous Lane-Emden functions. Numerical computations of the $$ are presented along with some elementary asymptotics near the critical exponent $3/2$.
