The Vlasov-Maxwell System with Strong Initial Magnetic Field: Guiding-Center Approximation
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the Vlasov-Maxwell equations with strong magnetic field. More precisely we investigate the Cauchy problems associated to strong initial magnetic fields. We justify the convergence towards the so-called ”guiding center approximation” when the dynamics is observed on a slower time scale than the plasma frequency. Our proofs rely on the modulated energy method.

Poisson-Vlasov in a strong magnetic field: A stochastic solution approach
Stochastic solutions are obtained for the Maxwell-Vlasov equation in the approximation where magnetic field fluctuations are neglected and the electrostatic potential is used to compute the electric field. This is a reasonable approximation for plasmas in a strong external magnetic field. Both Fourier and configuration space solutions are constructed. PACS: 52.25Dg, 02.50Ey
متن کاملA general theory for gauge-free lifting
A theory for lifting equations of motion for charged particle dynamics, subject to given electromagnetic like forces, up to a gauge-free system of coupled Hamiltonian Vlasov-Maxwell like equations is given. The theory provides very general expressions for the polarization and magnetization vector fields in terms of the particle dynamics description of matter. Thus, as is common in plasma physic...
متن کاملOn the Controllability of the Relativistic Vlasov-maxwell System
In this paper, we study the controllability of the two-dimensional relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system in a torus, by means of an interior control. We give two types of results. With the geometric control condition on the control set, we prove the local exact controllability of the system in large time. Our proof in this case is based on the return method, on some results on the control of the M...
متن کاملVariational formulations of guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell theory
The variational formulations of guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell theory based on Lagrange, Euler, and Euler-Poincaré variational principles are presented. Each variational principle yields a different approach to deriving guiding-center polarization and magnetization effects into the guiding-center Maxwell equations. The conservation laws of energy, momentum, and angular momentum are also derived ...
متن کاملLocal conservation laws for the Maxwell-Vlasov and collisionless kinetic guiding-center theories.
With use of a recent variational formulation of the Maxwell-Vlasov and guiding-center theories [D. Pfirsch, Z. Naturforsch. A 39, 1 (1984)], the energy-momentum and angular momentum tensors for such theories are derived and the corresponding local conservation laws are proven. The energy-momentum tensor is shown to be symmetric in its spatial components while the angular momentum density is nat...
