The Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system near Maxwellians with strong background magnetic field

Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the construction of global-in-time solutions of the Cauchy problem of the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system near Maxwellians with strong uniform background magnetic field. The background magnetic field under our consideration can be any given non-zero constant vector rather than vacuum in the previous results available up to now. Our analysis is motivated by the nonlinear energy method developed recently in [16,24,25] for the Boltzmann equation and the key point in our analysis is to deduce the dissipation estimates of the electronic field and strong background magnetic field.
