Abstract
Starting from the relativistic Landau kinetic equation we derive a classical relativistic Fokker-Planck equation for a test particle in a plasma. A H-theorem is proven and the behaviour of the friction 4-vector and diffusion tensor is analyzed for various dynamical conditions. It is shown that no phenomenological Langevin-type theory can cover all cases.
