Description
In this paper we construct a scale covariant kinetic theory for particles and photons. The mathematical framework of the theory is given by the tangent bundle of a Weyl manifold. The Liouville equation is then derived. Solutions corresponding to equilibrium distributions are presented and shown to yield thermodynamic results identical to the ones obtained previously
