Abstract

We derive dispersion formulae for the transverse waves propagating through a collisionless magneto-active plasma in the direction of the magnetic field valid for relativistic as well as non-relativistic temperatures, and compare them with those of earlier works. Wave propagation under various limiting conditions of temperatures and magnetic field are discussed.
