The concept of polarization in gyrokinetic theory is clarified and generalized to include contributions from the guiding-center (zeroth-order) polarization as well as the nonlinear (second-order) gyrocenter polarization. The guiding-center…
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…
A consistent guiding-center Hamiltonian theory is derived by Lie-transform perturbation method, with terms up to second order in magnetic-field nonuniformity. Consistency is demonstrated by showing that the guiding-center transformation…
The guiding center and gyrokinetic theory of magnetized particle motion is extended to the regime of large electric field gradients perpendicular to the magnetic field. A gradient in the electric field directly modifies the oscillation…
We propose a novel derivation of the gyrokinetic field-particle Lagrangian for non-collisional ion-electron plasmas in a magnetic background with strong variations (maximal ordering). Our approach follows the two-step reduction process,…
Expressions of polarization and magnetization in magnetically confined plasmas are derived, which include full expansions in the gyroradius to treat effects of both equilibrium and microscopic electromagnetic turbulence. Using the obtained…
The problem of the charged-particle motion in an axisymmetric magnetic-dipole geometry is used to assess the validity of Hamiltonian guiding-center theory, which includes higher-order corrections associated with guiding-center polarization…
A high-order extension is presented for the electromagnetic gyrokinetic formulation in which the parallel canonical momentum is taken as one of phase space coordinates. The high-order displacement vector associated with the guiding-center…
A new gauge-free electromagnetic gyrokinetic theory is developed, in which the gyrocenter equations of motion and the gyrocenter phase-space transformation are expressed in terms of the perturbed electromagnetic fields, instead of the usual…
Equivalent guiding-center Hamiltonian theories are constructed based on higher-order Lie-transform perturbation methods. Higher-order guiding-center theories are distinguished on the basis of whether correction terms associated with…
A gyrokinetic reduction is based on a specific ordering of the different small parameters characterizing the background magnetic field and the fluctuating electromagnetic fields. In this tutorial, we consider the following ordering of the…
In low-dimensional magnets, thermal agitation and spatial disorders generate strong spin fluctuations that suppress the long-range magnetic ordering. We develop an analytical equation for the equilibrium magnetization of two-dimensional…
We investigate second-order magnetic responses of quantum magnets against ac magnetic fields. We focus on the case where the $z$ component of the spin is conserved in the unperturbed Hamiltonian and the driving field is applied in the $xy$…
Gyrokinetics is a rich and rewarding playground to study some of the mysteries of modern physics. In this thesis I present work, motivated by the quest for fusion energy, which seeks to uncover some of the inner workings of turbulence in…
The problem of the charged-particle motion in an axisymmetric magnetic geometry is used to assess the validity of higher-order Hamiltonian guiding-center theory, which includes higher-order corrections associated with gyrogauge invariance…
Nonlinear effects of the trapping of resonant particles by the combined action of the electric field and the magnetic mirror force is studied using a gyrokinetic description that includes the finite Larmor radius effects. A general…
This paper pointed out that the usual gyrocenter transform, which implements single-parameter Lie transform perturbation theory on Lagrangian differential 1-form of the orbit of charged particles immersed in a strong magnetic field, is not…
A gyrokinetic theory is developed under a set of orderings applicable to the edge region of tokamaks and other magnetic confinement devices, as well as to internal transport barriers. The result is a practical set equations that is valid…
We study higher-order theories of gravitation; in particular, we will focus our attention on the second-order theory, in which conformal symmetry can be implemented.
The standard description of particles and fundamental interactions is crucially based on a regular metric background. In the language of differential geometry, this dependence is encoded into the action via Hodge star dualization. As a…
