Canonical Formulation of Relativistic Plasma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Following an earlier work we derive a gauge-independent canonical structure for a fully relativistic multicomponent plasma theory. The Klimontovich form of the distribution function is used to derive the basic Poisson bracket relations for the canonical variables/~, B, and E. The Poisson bracket relations provide an explicit canonical realization of the Lie algebra of the Poincar6 group and they lead to the correct transformation properties for the canonical variables. We stress the importance of a canonical realization of the full symmetry group of the evolution equations. The covariance of the theory under the symmetry group can be used as a criterion to discriminate among different canonical structures for the evolution equations.

متن کاملCanonical quantization, twistors and relativistic wave equations
A formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics in twistor space is studied. The phase-space description of the classical theory leads (via canonical quantization) to all known wave equations describing massless particles. A natural link between the classical and the quantum description is provided by the Wigner function de®ned on the space of twistors.

It is well known that –differing from ordinary gauge systems– canonical gauges are not admissible in the path integral for parametrized systems. This is the case for the relativistic particle and gravitation. However, a time dependent canonical transformation can turn a parametrized system into an ordinary gauge system. It is shown how to build a canonical transformation such that the fixation ...
متن کاملConductivity of a Relativistic Plasma
The collision operator for a relativistic plasma is reformulated in terms of an expansion in spherical harmonics. In this formulation the collision operator is expressed in terms of five scalar potentials which are given by one-dimensional integrals over the distribution function. This formulation is used to calculate the electrical conductivity of a uniform electron-ion plasma with infinitely ...
