Abstract A relativistic plasma is a plasma in which the mean energy per particle exceeds the rest mass of the electron, so that electron-positron pairs may form and alter the properties of the plasmas. We review some of the basic processes and resulting particle and photon distributions in relativistic plasmas and discuss how parameters of the theory are constrained by the observed high energy spectra from active galatic nuclei.
