Mathematical aspects of relativistic kinetic theory

The linearized relativistic Boltzmann equation is studied with respect to its position in the theory of integral equations. A sufficient condition is given for the convergence of the series which are usually employed in the calculation of the transport coefficients pertaining to systems described by this equation. As an illustration, the theory is applied to the neutrino gas.
