Abstract
The Hamiltonian structure of the guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell equations is presented in terms of a Hamiltonian functional and a guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell bracket. The bracket, which is shown to satisfy the Jacobi identity exactly, is used to show that the guiding-center momentum and angular-momentum conservation laws can also be expressed in Hamiltonian form.
