We study the validity of gyrokinetic theory by examining the destruction of magnetic moment adiabatic invariant in the presence of fluctuations. Contrary to common assertions, it is shown for the first time that the gyrokinetic theory rests…
We demonstrate for the first time and unexpectedly that the Principle of Relativity dictates the choice of the "gauge conditions" in the canonical example of a Gauge Theory namely Classical Electromagnetism. All the known "gauge conditions"…
In this paper a set of canonical collective variables is defined for a classical Klein-Gordon field and the problem of the definition of a set of canonical relative variables is discussed. This last point is approached by means of a…

The concept of guiding center is potent in astrophysics, space plasmas, fusion researches, and arc plasmas to solve the multi-scale dynamics of magnetized plasmas. In this letter, we rigorously prove that the guiding center dynamics can…
Quantization of arbitrary free scalar fields in spatially homogeneous and isotropic space-times is considered. The quantum representation allowing a unitary evolution for the fields is taken as a requirement for the theory. Studying the…
The exact analytical description of non relativistic charge motion in general magnetic fields is, apparently, a simple problem but, it has not been solved up to now apart for rare cases. The key feature of the present derivation is to adopt…
