LIPS-thermalization of a relativistic gas

TL;DR

This paper argues that relativistic two-particle collisions at a distance lead to a uniform distribution of particles in Lorentz invariant phase space, providing insights into thermalization processes.

Contribution

It introduces a novel perspective on relativistic gas thermalization by focusing on collision effects in phase space.

Findings

Two-particle collisions induce uniform phase space distribution

Relativistic collisions contribute to thermal equilibrium

The approach is Lorentz invariant

Abstract

It is argued that two-particle collisions of relativistic particles "at a distance", irrespective of their position in the configuration space, generate uniform distribution of particles in Lorentz invariant phase space.
