Relativistic kinetic theory with applications in astrophysics and cosmology

Relativistic kinetics is widely used in astrophysics and cosmology. In recent years, interest in this theory has grown, since it has been possible to put experiments under conditions where relativistic effects become significant. This monograph consists of three parts. The first part presents the main ideas and concepts, equations and methods of theory, including the conclusion of kinetic equations from the relativistic chain of Bogolyubov, as well as the ratio of kinetic and hydrodynamic descriptions. The second part is the introduction to computing physics, and special attention is paid to the numerical integration of the Boltzmann equations and related issues, as well as multicomponent hydrodynamics. In the third part, an application of applications is given, which covers the issues of the covariant theory of response, thermalization of plasma, componization in static and dynamic environments, kinetics of self -game systems, the formation of structure in cosmology and radiation of neutrinos during gravitational collapse.
