Abstract

Two global invariants of two dimensional gyrokinetics are shown to be "rugged" (still conserved by the dynamics) concerning both Fourier and Hankel/Bessel Galerkin truncations. The truncations are made to keep only a finite range of wavenumber k\textbf{k} and the Hankel variable bb (or zz in the Bessel series). The absolute equilibria are used for the discussion of the spectral transfers in the configuration-velocity scale space of kinetic magnetized plasma turbulence. Some interesting aspects of recent numerical results, which were not well understood, are explained with more satisfaction.
