Relativistic kinetic theory of classical systems of charged particles: towards the microscopic foundation of thermodynamics and kinetics

Abstract

In the complete system of equations of evolution of the classical system of charges and the electromagnetic field generated by them, the field variables are excluded. An exact closed relativistic non-Hamiltonian system of nonlocal kinetic equations, that describes the evolution of a system of charges in terms of their microscopic distribution functions, is obtained . The solutions of this system of equations are non-invariant with respect to time reversal, and also have the property of hereditarity.
