Abstract

We consider a space-periodic version of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system describing a collisionless plasma consisting of electrons and positively charged ions. As our main result, we prove that certain spacially homogeneous stationary solutions are nonlinearly stable. To this end we also establish global existence of weak solutions to the corresponding initial value problem. Our investigation is motivated by a corresponding result for the Vlasov-Poisson system, cf. [1, 14].
