A relativistically covariant formulation in the theory of plasma stability
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
The definition of the ‘combined field’ and the ‘combined field potentials’ allows one to formulate a constrained minimum energy problem. The constraints can be put in a relativistically covariant form. The equations of stable equilibrium, for a non-rotating charged fluid, are obtained. If the physical conditions are suitably chosen, a special kind of Alfvén-like velocity may exist.
