Relativistic kinetic theory: toward the microscopic substantiation of zeroth law of thermodynamics

A. Yu. Zakharov, V. V. Zubkov

Published 2021-06-24Version 1

An exact closed relativistic kinetic equation is derived for a system of identical classical particles interacting with each other through a scalar field. The microscopic deterministic mechanism of the irreversible equilibration process in a relativistic classical system of interacting particles has been established. Keywords: Irreversible equilibration process; Classical relativistic dynamics; Retarded interactions.
