Abstract:
The relativistic collisionless Boltzmann equation with radiative reaction is derived from the conservation of the number of particles in the reduced six-dimensional phase space. It is then written in a covariant form. By taking invariant moments of the Boltzmann equation, we obtain the system of equations for relativistic magnetohydrodynamics taking account of radiative reaction.
