Abstract
We prove a global-in-time limit from the two-species Vlasov–Maxwell–Boltzmann system with a cutoff hard potential collision kernel to the two-fluid incompressible Navier–Stokes–Fourier–Maxwell system with Ohm’s law. Besides the techniques developed for the classical solutions to the Vlasov–Maxwell–Boltzmann equations in the past years, such as the nonlinear energy method and micro–macro decomposition are employed, in this paper, key roles are played by the decay properties of both the electric field and the wave equation with linear damping of the divergence free magnetic field. This is a companion paper of Jiang and Luo (Ann PDE, 8(1), Paper No. 4, 126, 2022) in which Hilbert expansion was not employed but only the hard sphere case was considered.

Appendix A: Estimates on \((\rho _1, u_1, \theta _1, E_1, B_1)\): Proof of Lemma 3.5
Appendix A: Estimates on \((\rho _1, u_1, \theta _1, E_1, B_1)\): Proof of Lemma 3.5
This section aims to derive the energy bounds of the linear Maxwell equations (2.43)–(2.44) with initial data (1.12), namely, it aims to prove Lemma 3.5.
Proof of Lemma 3.5
The proof will be divided into two steps.
Step 1. Estimates on \((\rho _1, u_1, \theta _1)\).
We first prove the bound (3.20) of \( u_1\). Recalling the relations (2.44), one sees that
The standard elliptic theory implies \(\Vert \phi (t,\cdot )\Vert _{H_x^{M+2}} \lesssim \Vert \partial _t \theta _0(t,\cdot ) \Vert _{H_x^M}\), provided that \(\partial _t \theta _0(t,\cdot ) \in {H_x^M}\). Hence, it follows from the third equation of the NSMF system (2.29) that, for \(M \ge 1\),
Then, from the definitions of \(\mathcal {E}_{0,M+1} (t)\) and \(\mathcal {D}_{0,M+1} (t) \) in (3.10) and (3.11) with \(s = M+1\), the inequality (3.20) holds.
We next derive the inequality (3.21). By (2.44), \(\rho _1\) and \(\theta _1\) satisfy
Then, together with the last third equation of the NSMF system (2.29), the elliptic theory yields
Thus, the inequality (3.21) follows from the definition of \(\mathcal {E}_{0,M+1} (t) \) and \(\mathcal {D}_{0,M+1} (t) \) in (3.10) and (3.11), respectively.
Step 2. Estimates on \((E_1, B_1)\).
It remains to derive the inequalities (3.22)–(3.23). The key point is to seek some essential decay structures. In (2.43), denote by \(j_1 = u_2^+ - u_2^-\).
From applying \(\textrm{div}_x\) to the first equation of (2.43) and using \(\textrm{div}_x E_1 = n_1\), it follows that
Moreover, from taking the time derivative on the \( B_1\)-equation in (2.43),
Noticing that \(\textrm{div}_x B_1 = 0\) yields \(\nabla _x \times (\nabla _x B_1) = - \Delta _x B_1\), one has
which possesses a decay effect \(\sigma \partial _t B_1\).
Then, we turn to focus on the system (2.43), (A.3) and (A.4). For all \(|m| \le M\), applying \(\partial ^m\) to the first and second equations of (2.43), and then taking \(L^2_x\)-inner product with \(\partial ^m E_1\) and \(\partial ^m B_1\), respectively, one infers that
where the cancellation relation \(\int _{\mathbb {T}^3} (\nabla _x \times \partial ^m E_1 ) \cdot \partial ^m B_1 \mathop {}\!\textrm{d}x = \int _{\mathbb {T}^3} ( \nabla _x \times \partial ^m B_1 ) \cdot \partial ^m E_1 \mathop {}\!\textrm{d}x \) and the third equation of (2.43), i.e., \(\textrm{div}_x E_1 = n_1\) have been used. Then, summing up for \(|m| \le M\) implies that
Performing the similar procedure as above to the equation (A.3), one has that
For the equation (A.4), from taking the operator \(\partial ^m\), multiplying by \(\partial _t \partial ^m B_1\), integrating by parts over \(x \in \mathbb {T}^3\) and summing up for \(|m| \le M\), it follows that
Furthermore, if one multiplies by \(\partial ^m B_1\) instead of \(\partial _t \partial ^m B_1\) in the arguments of (A.8), it holds that
where the equality \(( \nabla _x \times \partial ^m j_1) \cdot \partial ^m B_1 = \textrm{div}_x ( \partial ^m j_1 \times \partial ^m B_1 ) + \partial ^m j_1 \cdot ( \nabla _x \times \partial ^m B_1)\) has been utilized.
Choosing a positive constant \(\delta = \tfrac{1}{2} \min \{ 1,\sigma \} \in ( 0, \tfrac{1}{2} ] \), multiplying equality (A.9) by \(\delta \), and adding the resultant to the relations (A.5), (A.7) and (A.8), one has that
where we have used the Hölder inequality in the last line.
Recalling the expression of \(j_1 = u_2^+ - u_2^-\) in (2.43) and the fact \(\nabla _x \times (\nabla _x n_1) = 0\), it follows from the Sobolev embedding theory that
where Poincaré’s inequality \(\Vert B_1 \Vert _{L^2_x} \le C \Vert \nabla _x B_1 \Vert _{L^2_x}\) has been used. Recalling the definition of \(\Gamma _0^-\) in (2.41), one can deduce from the Sobolev embedding theory that
where Ohm’s law \(j_0 = n_0 u_0 + \sigma (-\tfrac{1}{2} \nabla _x n_0 + E_0 + u_0 \times B_0) \) in (2.29) has been used. Therefore,
Plugging the inequality (A.11) into (A.10) implies that
By the monotonicity of \(\mathcal {E}_{0,s}(t)\) and \(\mathcal {D}_{0,s}(t)\) with respect to the index \(s \ge 0\), the inequality (3.20) reduces to
which, combined with the fact that \(\mathcal {E}_{0,M+2}(t) \le C \mathcal {E}_{0,M+2}^{\textrm{in}} \le C \lambda _0 (M+2)\) due to Lemma 3.4, enables us to get
As a consequence, by the definitions of \(\mathcal {E}_{1,M}(t)\) and \(\mathcal {D}_{1,M}(t)\) in (3.17) and (3.18), respectively, it follows that
Applying the energy inequality (3.14) with \(s=M+2\) in Lemma 3.4 yields
with \({\widetilde{C}}_M= 1+ C ( 1 + \lambda _0 (M+2))^2 \ge 1\). Therefore, by choosing a small positive constant \(\lambda _1(M+2) \in ( 0, \lambda _0(M+2)] \) such that if \(\mathcal {E}_{0,M+2}^{\textrm{in}} \le \lambda _1(M+2)\), then \(C \mathcal {E}_{0,M+2}^{\textrm{in}} \le 1\), the above inequality will conclude (3.22). The bound (3.23) also follows immediately. The proof of Lemma 3.5 is completed. \(\square \)
