## Relativistic transfer equations: Comparison principle and convergence to the non-equilibrium regime

 1 Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, 75252 Paris Cedex 05, France

Received  March 2015 Revised  June 2015 Published  July 2015

We consider the relativistic transfer equations for photons interacting via emission absorption and scattering with a moving fluid. We prove a comparison principle and we study the non-equilibrium regime: the relativistic correction terms in the scattering operator lead to a frequency drift term modeling the Doppler effects. We prove that the solution of the relativistic transfer equations converges toward the solution of this drift diffusion equation.
