Treatments of plasma waves usually assume homogeneity, but the parallel gradients ubiquitous in plasmas can modify wave propagation and absorption. We derive a quasilocal inhomogeneous correction to the plasma dielectric for arbitrary…
Tokamak disruptions are associated with breaking magnetic surfaces, which makes magnetic field lines chaotic in large regions of the plasma. The enforcement of quasi-neutrality in a region of chaotic field lines requires an electric…

In this paper we study the question of when does a closed, simply connected, integral symplectic manifold (W,omega) have the stability property for its spaces of based holomorphic spheres? This property states that in a stable limit under…
Mass flows and radial electric field driven by edge poloidal density asymmetries can be used as a highly effective control mechanism for the edge and thus global confinement in tokamaks. The underlying physics can be demonstrated entirely…
The symmetry properties of a classical N-dimensional harmonic oscillator with rational frequency ratios are studied from a global point of view. A commensurate oscillator possesses the same number of globally defined constants of motion as…
It is shown that the universal steady Euler flow field, independent of boundary shape or symmetry, in a toroidal domain with fixed boundary obeys a nonlinear Beltrami equation, with the nonlinearity arising from a Boltzmann-like,…
Two global symmetries are holo-equivalent if their algebras of local symmetric operators are isomorphic. Holo-equivalent classes of global symmetries are classified by gappable-boundary topological orders (TO) in one higher dimension…
We show that any nonlinear field theory giving rise to static solutions with finite energy like, e.g., topological solitons, allows us to derive an infinite number of integral identities which any such solution has to obey. These integral…
We present a new empirical model for galaxy rotation curves that introduces a velocity correction term {\omega}, derived from observed stellar motion and anchored to Keplerian baselines. Unlike parametric halo models or modified gravity…
Solid-like behavior at low energies and long distances is usually associated with the spontaneous breaking of spatial translations at microscopic scales, as in the case of a lattice of atoms. We exhibit three quantum field theories that are…
The assumption of a spatially uniform helium distribution in the intracluster medium can lead to biases in the estimates of key cluster parameters if composition gradients are present. The helium concentration profile in galaxy clusters is…

Stronger impurity density in-out poloidal asymmetries than predicted by the most comprehensive neoclassical models have been measured in several tokamaks around the world during the last decade, calling into question the reduction of…
