Global classical solutions of the 3D relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system for large data
Claims that every smooth admissible datum (f0∈Cc∞, f0≥0, fields in Cb∞∩L2 satisfying ∇⋅E0=ρf0, ∇⋅B0=0) generates a unique global classical solution of the one-species relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system in three dimensions, smooth on every [0,T] with compact phase-space support there. The key estimate controls the signed momentum impulse along characteristics, integrating the retarded force along source trajectories before taking absolute values, which rules out momentum blow-up and lets the Glassey-Strauss criterion apply. It treats one species without background charge; it does not give uniform-in-time momentum bounds (the support may grow with T) or asymptotic behaviour, and it does not cover the non-relativistic or multi-species systems explicitly.
