Sharp asymptotics for the solutions of the three-dimensional massless Vlasov-Maxwell system with small data

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic properties of the small data solutions to the massless Vlasov-Maxwell system in $3d$. We use vector field methods to derive almost optimal decay estimates in null directions for the electromagnetic field, the particle density and their derivatives. No compact support assumption in $x$ or $v$ is required on the initial data and the decay in $v$ is in particular initially optimal. Consistently with Proposition $8.1$ of \cite{dim4}, the Vlasov field is supposed to vanish initially for small velocties. In order to deal with the slow decay rate of the solutions near the light cone and to prove that the velocity support of the particle density remains bounded away from $0$, we make crucial use of the null properties of the system.
