چکیده
Starting from the non-relativistic Pauli description of spin 1 2 particles, a set of fluid equations, governing the dynamics of such particles interacting with external fields and other particles, is derived. The equations describe electrons, positrons, holes, and similar conglomerates. In the case of electrons, the magnetohydrodynamic limit of an electron–ion plasma is investigated. The results should be of interest and relevance both to laboratory and astrophysical plasmas.

متن کامل1 3 Ju l 2 00 1 Stable forms and special metrics Nigel Hitchin
We show how certain diffeomorphism-invariant functionals on differential forms in dimensions 6, 7 and 8 generate in a natural way special geometrical structures in these dimensions: metrics of holonomy G2 and Spin(7), metrics with weak holonomy SU(3) and G2, and a new and unexplored example in dimension 8. The general formalism becomes a practical tool for calculating homogeneous or cohomogenei...

The “natural” magnetic moment of a particle of spin S is generally assumed to be that given by the Belinfante conjecture and has the value g = 1/S for its gyromagnetic ratio. Thus, for the spin 1/2 electron we find the Dirac value ge = 2. However, in the standard model the charged W boson, a spin one particle, is found to have the value gW+ = 2. We show how this result comes about and argue tha...

Chul H. Lee and Hyun Kyu Lee Department of Physics, Hanyang University, Seoul, 133-791, KOREA Abstract A fully general relativistic description of the pulsar magnetosphere is provided. To be more concrete, a study of the pulsar magnetosphere is performed in the context of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) employing the so-called Grad-Shafranov approach. Not surprisingly, the resul...

A new class of plurisubharmonic functions on the octonionic plane O2 ≃ R16 is introduced. An octonionic version of theorems of A.D. Aleksandrov [3] and ChernLevine-Nirenberg [24], and B locki [21] are proved. These results are used to construct new examples of continuous translation invariant valuations on convex subsets of O2 ≃ R 16. In particular a new example of Spin(9)-invariant valuation o...
