The model of the pulsar magnetosphere filled with massless charged particles (rest mass m = 0) is considered. The gas of charged massless particles can be found in two different phases: (1) dynamical phase (DP), when the particles move with nonvanishing energy epsilon along some base line, determined by the electromagnetic field only, and (2) statical phase (SP), when the particles have vanishing energy epsilon = 0. The pulsar magnetosphere occurs to be divided into regions of different types: (1) the accelerating regions (DP-regions) containing only DP, (2) the capture regions, containing only SP, and (3) leaky capture regions, where DP moves through SP. The leaky capture regions are the active regions, which are responsible for the pulsar radio-emission. In the case of oblique magnetic moment the equation for the capture surface has been obtained. The capture region is formed around this surface. Expressions for jumps of the electromagnetic field, the current density and the charge density on the capture region boundary have been obtained. The problem of the pulsar magnetosphere is stated mathematically in the case of oblique magnetic moment and ejection of only electrons.
