Abstract

We prove that spherically symmetric solutions of the Vlasov-Einstein system with a fixed initial value converge to the corresponding solution of the Vlasov-Poisson system if the speed of lightc is taken as a parameter and tends to infinity. The convergence is uniform on compact time intervals with convergence rate 1/c 2. Thus the classical Vlasov-Poisson system appears as the Newtonian limit of the general relativistic Vlasov-Einstein system in a spherically symmetric setting.
