Abstract


The spectrum structures and behaviors of the Vlasov--Maxwell--Boltzmann (VMB) systems for both two species and one species are studied in this paper. The analysis shows the effect of the Lorentz force induced by the electromagnetic field leads to some different structure of spectrum from the classical Boltzmann equation and the closely related VPB system. And the significant difference between the two-species VMB model and one-species VMB model are given. The structure in high frequency illustrates the hyperbolic structure of the Maxwell equation. Furthermore, the long time behaviors and the optimal convergence rates to the equilibrium of the VMB systems for both two species and one species are established based on the spectrum analysis, and in particular the phenomena of the electric field dominating and magnetic field dominating are observed for the one-species VMB system.
