Abstract

We review how inclusion of Landau damping of virtual exchanged quanta in the transverse interactions of particles in relativistic plasmas leads to finite rates of transport processes. We also summarize results of recent Boltzmann kinetic equation calculations, to leading order in the coupling strength, of the transport coefficients of relativistic plasmas.
