A kinetic consideration of an axisymmetric equilibrium with vanishing electric field near the magnetic axis shows that del f should not vanish on axis within the framework of Vlasov theory while it can either vanish or not in the framework…
After developing a scattering theory for grazing collisions in general noncanonical phase spaces, we introduce a guiding center collision operator in five-dimensional phase space designed for plasma regimes characterized by long wavelengths…
The kinetic description of relativistic plasmas in the presence of time-varying and spatially non-uniform electromagnetic fields is a fundamental theoretical issue both in astrophysics and plasma physics. This refers, in particular, to the…
Extended guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell equations are derived under the assumption of time-dependent and inhomogeneous electric and magnetic fields that obey the standard guiding-center space-time-scale orderings. The guiding-center…
The exact momentum conservation laws for the nonlinear gyrokinetic Vlasov-Poisson equations are derived by applying the Noether method on the gyrokinetic variational principle [A. J. Brizard, Phys. Plasmas {\bf 7}, 4816 (2000)]. From the…
Reciprocal transformations associated with admitted conservation laws were originally used to derive invariance properties in non-relativistic gasdynamics and applied to obtain reduction to tractable canonical forms. They have subsequently…
Low density plasmas in curved spacetimes, such as those found in accretion flows around black holes, are challenging to model from first principles, owing to the large scale separation between the characteristic scales of the microscopic…
The derivation of the oscillation-center quasilinear theory in an unmagnetized plasma by Dewar \cite{Dewar:1973} is rederived by Lie-transform perturbation method.
A charged particle in a suitably strong magnetic field spirals along the field lines while slowly drifting transversely. This note provides a brief derivation of an effective Lagrangian formulation for the guiding-centre approximation that…
The elimination of a fast time scale from the Vlasov equation by Lie-transform methods is an important step in deriving a reduced Vlasov equation such as the drift-kinetic Vlasov equation or the gyrokinetic Vlasov equation. It is shown here…
The Lagrange, Euler, and Euler-Poincar\'{e} variational principles for the guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell equations are presented. Each variational principle presents a different approach to deriving guiding-center polarization and…
We present a novel scheme of carrying out the Lie-transform perturbation for the guiding-center motion, with an aim at addressing directly the problem of singularity which exists intrinsically in the determining equation for the generating…
Reduced equations that describe low-frequency plasma dynamics play an important role in our understanding of plasma behavior over long time scales. One of the oldest paradigms for reduced plasma dynamics involves the ponderomotive…
A gyrokinetic model is presented that can properly describe strong flows, large and small amplitude electromagnetic fluctuations occurring on scale lengths ranging from the electron Larmor radius to the equilibrium perpendicular pressure…
We present the Hamiltonian (Lie-Poisson) analysis of the Vlasov plasma, and the dynamics of its kinetic moments, from the matched pair decomposition point of view. We express these (Lie-Poisson) systems as couplings of \textit{mutually…
We propose a conformal generalization of the reversible Vlasov equation of kinetic plasma dynamics, called conformal kinetic theory. In order to arrive at this formalism, we start with the conformal Hamiltonian dynamics of particles and…
The problem posed by the possible existence/non-existence of spatially non-symmetric kinetic equilibria has remained unsolved in plasma theory. For collisionless magnetized plasmas this involves the construction of stationary solutions of…
In this work we derive a reduced one-fluid plasma model from the relativistic Vlasov--Boltzmann--Maxwell system using a moment hierarchy reduction combined with strong-guide-field anisotropic ordering. The unresolved higher-moment sector of…
The guiding center approximation represents a very powerful tool for analyzing and modeling a charged particle motion in strong magnetic fields. This approximation is based on conservation of the adiabatic invariant, magnetic moment.…
The extended guiding-center Lagrangian equations of motion are derived by Lie-transform method under the assumption of time-dependent and inhomogeneous electric and magnetic fields that satisfy the standard guiding-center orderings for…
