Abstract: We consider the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system in three dimensions and study the limiting asymptotic behavior as toinfty of solutions launched by small, compactly supported initial data. In particular, we prove that such solutions scatter to a modification of the free-streaming asymptotic profile. More specifically, we show that the spatial average of the particle distribution function converges to a smooth, compactly-supported limit and establish the precise, self-similar asymptotic behavior of the electric and magnetic fields, as well as, the macroscopic densities and their derivatives in terms of this limiting function. Upon constructing the limiting fields, a modified Linfty scattering result for the particle distribution function along the associated trajectories of free transport corrected by the limiting Lorentz force is then obtained. When the plasma is non-neutral, our estimates are sharp up to a logarithmic correction. However, when the plasma is neutral, the limiting charge and current densities may vanish, which gives rise to decay rates that are faster than those attributed to the dispersive mechanisms in the system.
