Abstract
The Vlasov–Maxwell–Boltzmann system is one of the most fundamental models to describe the dynamics of dilute charged particles, where particles interact via collisions and through their self-consistent electromagnetic field. We prove existence of global in time classical solutions to the Cauchy problem near Maxwellians.
