Optimal Large-Time Behavior of the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann System in the Whole Space

Abstract

In this paper we study the large-time behavior of classical solutions to the two-species Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system in the whole space . The existence of global in time nearby Maxwellian solutions is known from [34] in 2006. However the asymptotic behavior of these solutions has been a challenging open problem. Building on our previous work [10] on time decay for the simpler Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system, we prove that these solutions converge to the global Maxwellian with the optimal decay rate of in -norm for any if initial perturbation is smooth enough and decays in space-velocity fast enough at infinity. Moreover, some explicit rates for the electromagnetic field tending to zero are also provided.
