1. Introduction
In this paper, we focus on the relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell–Chern–Simons (
RVMCS) system [
1,
2]
on the whole space
(all physical constants are normalized to unity), where at position
and time
,
is the density of the particles, moving with velocity
. The functions
and
stand for the magnetic and electric fields by the Chern–Simons theory, respectively. In addition, the current and charge densities are defined by
where
,
,
denote the relativistic velocity, respectively:
In fact, the
RVMCS system is derived from gauge theory and can be described as the interaction between Vlasov matter and Maxwell–Chern–Simons fields. The Chern–Simons theory could explain many interesting phenomena, such as high-
superconductivity [
3] and the quantum Hall effect [
4]. If there is no Chern–Simons term, the corresponding system is known as the relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell system, i.e., the
RVM system, which has received a lot of attention in the past decades (see, e.g., Refs. [
5,
6,
7,
8,
9] and the references therein).
Although a great deal of mathematical results for the Chern–Simons theory (such as [
10,
11]) have been established, as the authors know, there are few results for the
RVMCS system. In two dimensions, [
12] obtained global classical solutions for the
RVMCS system and deduced that the
RVMCS system converges to the Vlasov–Yukawa equations by using the similar method of [
8,
13]. By virtue of the moment estimate and inhomogeneous Strichartz estimates (see [
14]), ref. [
2] established the global existence of a classical solution for the
RVMCS system without compact momentum support.
Our main interest in this paper concerns the one-and-one-half-dimensional
RVMCS system. A pioneer result by Glassey and Schaeffer [
6] showed the global existence of the one-and-one-half-dimensional
RVM system. When considering a fixed background
which is neutralizing in the way
from
, ref. [
6] proved that
has compact support; thus, it is clear to deduce that
which is the key point to obtain the existence result.
However, for the
RVMCS system, we could not obtain the formula of
directly from
. It is well-known that Maxwell fields can be considered as wave equations, while the Maxwell–Chern–Simons fields may be supposed to be Klein–Gordon-type equations. Therefore, we briefly review the solution of the one-dimensional Klein–Gordon equations [
15]:
The fundamental solution of the above equations could be written as
where

16] for a more detailed discussion about Bessel functions. In the present paper, we only give the following properties and asymptotic estimate:
and
Combining function

Using the fundamental solution
, one can easily write the solution of the one-dimensional classical Klein–Gordon equation as follows:
Moreover, as for the Vlasov Equation (
1), similarly with the
RVM system, we can denote characteristic equations:

Furthermore, , having initial data satisfyandwherein is a nondecreasing function. The outline of the remainder of this work is structured as comes next. In

Section 3, we obtain our main results by constructing the iteration scheme and estimating the fields more precisely.
2. Estimates of the Fields and
In this section, combining the method given in [
6,
17] with the solution of Klein–Gordon Equation (
7), we deduce the representations of
and
firstly.
Lemma 1. Assume is a classical resolution of the system RVMCS in (1)–(4). Assume that has compact support in for each t. Then, the fields and have representations ():where Furthermore, the others are defined bywhere . Proof. As in [
6], we define two operators as comes next:
Applying the calculations of [
7,
8,
17], we can rewrite time and spatial derivatives below:
From (2) and (3), we obtain that
Because of the calculation process of the representation of and B are almost similar, we just only calculate .
Actually, using (
7), the
field could be written as follows:
where
and in view of (
9),
can be rewritten as
By virtue of (
1), we obtain
For the
term, using the definition of
, we obtain
Set
, by invoking integration by parts and (
5), and we obtain
As
, it is easy to deduce that
Inserting inequalities (
11)–(
14) into (
10), we obtain the representation of
. □
Remark 1. Because of the different fundamental function between the Klein–Gordon equations with wave equations, the representations of fields E and B for the RVMCS system have some different points from the RVM system [6]. For example, we have additional terms and . Nevertheless, these additional terms can be controlled by (5) and (6). Now, we are devoted to estimating the fields and .
Lemma 2. Suppose that satisfy the same conditions as in Lemma 1 andare finite. If there is a nondecreasing function yieldingthen Proof. Because of
when
, it is easy to show that
where we have used
. Hence, for
, using (
6) and in consideration of Lemma 1, we obtain that
The Gronwall’s inequality implies that , for . This is the desired result. □
Next, we show that the derivatives of the fields are also bounded.
Lemma 3. Assume that are as in Lemma 1, and and are finite. Then, Proof. Firstly, we calculate every term of
. For
, using the definition of operators
S and
T, together with (
1) and (
9), we have
On the set
, by an elementary computation as well as Lemma 1, this yields that
Similar to the estimate of (
13), we have
By (2) and (3) and Lemma 1, for
, we have
Then, combining the properties of Bessel functions (
5) and (
6) with the support of
f, we observe that
Finally, by virtue of the above inequality and (
18)–(
20), we obtain
Next, using equality (
9), we can estimate
,
Then, we estimate each term in the above equality separately. For
, using (
1), Lemma 2 and
, we show that
For
, similar to the estimate of (
13), in view of (
5), (
6) and (
9), we have
Hence, combining the above estimate, we obtain .
For
, we could compute it directly:
Then, for
, similar to the estimates of
, it is easy to show
Lastly, for
, we can obtain
by integration by parts. Thus, from the above estimates and Lemma 1, we have
Again, in the same way, we can estimate
and
. Consequently, for
, we have
This, together with Gronwall’s inequality, completes the proof. □
Lemma 4. Assume that are as in Lemmas 1–3 and the conditions of Lemmas 1–3 hold. Then, Proof. It is similar to [
7] (Theorem 4) and [
12] (Lemma 3.2), so we omit it. □
3. Proof of the Main Results
This section is furnished to investigate the existence and uniqueness of classical solutions for the RVMCS system. First of all, we will give a conditional existence proposition.
Proposition 1. Let be nonnegative functions. Suppose that and are two functions, such that If the data satisfyand furthermore, if there is a non-decreasing function such that Then, there exists a unique global classical solution for the RVMCS system.
Proof. In this work, we use a well-known iteration scheme method ([
6,
7,
12,
17,
18]) which may be well used to prove the existence theorem. Denote
the iteration functions. We also take smooth initial data
After the
iteration, we set that

Vlasov problem:
Hence,

function if
and

functions. By the theory of ordinary differential equations, along the characteristics equations in (
21)
is a constant. Therefore,
also has compact support in
v. In addition,
are well-defined. Then, we obtain
and
by solving the following equations
with initial data
. Furthermore, with Lemma 4, we can prove easily that these sequences are Cauchy in the
-norm and obtain the existence from Proposition 1 as in [
17]. □
To prove Theorem 1, we will show that the nondecreasing function in Proposition 1 exists on . To this end, we establish a lemma for energy conservation.
Lemma 5. Suppose are the solutions stated in Proposition 1. Then, the energy identityholds, where Proof. The energy identity (
22) is similar to [
12] (Lemma 3.3), and its certification process is omitted (see [
12] for details). It is obvious that
if
because of
and
. So, we have the total energy identity by (
22), i.e., (
23). Similar with [
8] (Lemma 1), we can obtain (24).
To prove (25), note that for each
, we use the usual manner,
Taking
, we have
and hence
Similarly, we can prove (26). □
Next, our goal is to deduce that
where
As the similar method in [
6,
7,
8,
12], by virtue of the estimate of
, Proposition 1 can be extended to Theorem 1.
To this end, following from Lemma 5, we give more precise estimates of the fields than Lemma 2.
Lemma 6. Let be the solution furnished in Proposition 1, , and then the estimateholds for . Proof. Combining (16) with (17), we obtain
Then, using (
6) and (15) and Lemma 1, we obtain
Then, we calculate
, respectively. For
, using the Hölder inequality, (
22) and (26), we have
By (25) and the Hölder inequality again, it gives that
With the above inequality, it is easy to deduce that
Similar to the estimate of
, we also obtain
For
, by (24), it yields that
Combining the above inequalities with (
27), we obtain
Thus, by the inequality of the Gronwall, it implies that
□
Employing the characteristic curves (
8) and Lemma 6, we have
It follows that
wherein
is bounded via
on
, and also
satisfies
So, choosing
, for each
, one obtains
This completes the proof of the theorem.
4. Conclusions
In this manuscript, we have considered the relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell–Chern–Simons system in the 1.5D case. Different from the well-known Vlasov–Maxwell equations, the
RVMCS system could be seen as a set of the Klein–Gordon-type equations and Vlasov equation. However, the Vlasov–Maxwell system could be considered as a system of the linear wave equation. The fundamental solution of the one-dimensional Klein–Gordon PDE has some decaying and bounded properties; hence, we can control
and
. By view of the iteration method and a nondecreasing function condition, we establish the global uniqueness and existence of the
RVMCS system. In a forthcoming work, inspired by the work of [
19,
20,
21,
22,
23], we may study two questions. On the one hand, we will consider establishing the well-posedness of the
RVMCS system in Besov space with large Maxwell fields. On the other hand, we will consider the behavior of the
RVMCS system, when the speed of light tends to infinity.
