Vortex solitons - Mass, Energy and Angular momentum bunching in relativistic electron-positron plasmas

Astrophysics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the interaction of large amplitude electromagnetic waves with a hot electron-positron (e-p) plasma (a principal constituent of the universe in the MeV epoch) leads to a bunching of mass, energy, and angular momentum in stable, long-lived structures. Electromagnetism in the MeV epoch, then, could provide a possible route for seeding the observed large-scale structure of the universe.
