Relativistic kinetic theory has widespread application in
astrophysics and cosmology. The interest has grown in recent years
as experimentalists are now able to make reliable measurements on
physical systems where relativistic effects are no longer
negligible. This ambitious monograph is divided into three parts.
It presents the basic ideas and concepts of this theory, equations
and methods, including derivation of kinetic equations from the
relativistic BBGKY hierarchy and discussion of the relation between
kinetic and hydrodynamic levels of description. The second part
introduces elements of computational physics with special emphasis
on numerical integration of Boltzmann equations and related
approaches, as well as multi-component hydrodynamics. The third
part presents an overview of applications ranging from covariant
theory of plasma response, thermalization of relativistic plasma,
comptonization in static and moving media to kinetics of
self-gravitating systems, cosmological structure formation and
neutrino emission during the gravitational collapse.
