Abstract

Expressions for the linear response tensor are derived using a covariant forward-scattering method for unmagnetized relativistic thermal distributions restricted to one-dimensional (strictly parallel) and two-dimensional (strictly perpendicular) motions. The freedom to make Lorentz transformations is used to generalize the strictly perpendicular distribution to a counterpart of the nonrelativistic Dory–Guest–Harris (DGH) distribution.
