Green's function and Pointwise Behavior of the One-Dimensional Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann System
The pointwise space-time behavior of the Green's function of the one-dimensional Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann (VMB) system is studied in this paper. It is shown that the Green's function consists of the macroscopic diffusive waves and Huygens waves with the speed $\pm \sqrt{5/3}$ at low-frequency, the hyperbolic waves with the speed $\pm 1$ at high-frequency, the singular kinetic and leading short waves, and the remaining term decaying exponentially in space and time. Note that these high-frequency hyperbolic waves are completely new and can not be observed for the Boltzmann equation and the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system. In addition, we establish the pointwise space-time estimate of the global solution to the nonlinear VMB system based on the Green's function. Compared to the Boltzmann equation and the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system, some new ideas are introduced to overcome the difficulties caused by the coupling effects of the transport of particles and the rotating of electro-magnetic fields, and investigate the new hyperbolic waves and singular leading short waves.
