Abstract: We prove the uniqueness of weak solutions to the spatially homogeneous special relativistic Landau equation under the conditional assumption that the solution satisfies $(p^0)^7 F(t,p) \in L^1 ([0,T]; L^\infty )$. The existence of standard weak solutions to the relativistic Landau equation has been shown recently in [J. Funct. Anal. 277 (2019), pp. 1139–1201].
