Transverse Wave Propagation in Relativistic Two-fluid Plasmas in de Sitter Space

arXiv:0806.2740 · doi:10.1007/s10714-009-0891-x

Abstract

We investigate transverse electromagnetic waves propagating in a plasma in the de Sitter space. Using the 3+1 formalism we derive the relativistic two-fluid equations to take account of the effects due to the horizon and describe the set of simultaneous linear equations for the perturbations. We use a local approximation to investigate the one-dimensional radial propagation of Alfvén and high frequency electromagnetic waves and solve the dispersion relation for these waves numerically.
