In this paper, we consider a scalar Peierls--Nabarro model describing the motion of dislocations in the plane (x1,x2) along the line x2=0. Each dislocation can be seen as a phase transition and creates a scalar displacement field in the plane. This displacement field solves a simplified elasto-dynamics equation, which is simply a linear wave equation. The total displacement field creates a stress which makes move the dislocation itself. By symmetry, we can reduce the system to a wave equation in the half plane x2>0 coupled with an equation for the dynamics of dislocations on the boundary of the half plane, i.e. on x2=0. Our goal is to understand the dynamics of well-separated dislocations in the limit when the distance between dislocations is very large, of order 1/ɛ. After rescaling, this corresponds to introduce a small parameter ɛ in the system. For the limit ɛ → 0, we are formally able to identify a reduced ordinary differential equation model describing the dynamics of relativistic dislocations if a certain conjecture is assumed to be true.
