The objective of the first half of my talk is to briefly discuss the problem of singularity formation for quasilinear equations, and to explain how the Relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell (RVM) does not have shocks as for Burger’s equation. This offers an opportunity to introduce microlocal Radon analysis leading to this type of results. The second part of my talk will be devoted to the details of the proof of the local solubility for RVM, and to the application to hot magnetized and dense plasmas.
This is a collaboration with C. Cheverry (U. Rennes).
