Nonrelativistic and relativistic Landau/Fokker-Planck equation for arbitrary statistics

Abstract: The Landau equation is obtained, for a system of particles of arbitrary statistics, by expanding the semiclassical Boltzmann collision integral in the scattering angle. The equation is next cast into the Fokker-Planck form. Both the nonrelativistic and the relativistic cases are considered. In each case, the conservation laws and the H theorem for the obtained equation are demonstrated. Generalization of the equation involving inelastic binary collisions is investigated.
