Notes on a 1-dimensional electrostatic plasma model

F. Pegoraro, P. J. Morrison

A starting point for deriving the Vlasov equation is the BBGKY hierarchy that describes the dynamics of coupled marginal distribution functions. With a large value of the plasma pa…

Two-component self-gravitating isothermal slab models

Giuseppe Bertin, Francesco Pegoraro

We revisit the problem of the isothermal slab (in standard Cartesian coordinates, density distributions and mean gravitational potential are considered to be independent of and…

Generation of High Order Harmonics in Heisenberg-Euler Electrodynamics

Pavel Sasorov, Francesco Pegoraro, Timur Esirkepov +1

High order harmonic generation by extremely intense, interacting, electromagnetic waves in the quantum vacuum is investigated within the framework of the Heisenberg-Euler formalism…

Nonlinear waves in a dispersive vacuum described with a high order derivative electromagnetic Lagrangian

Francesco Pegoraro, Sergei Bulanov

In this article we use an electromagnetic Lagrangian constructed so as to include dispersive effects in the description of an electromagnetic wave propagating in the Quantum Electr…

Nonlinear electrodynamics at cylindrical "cumulation" fronts

F. Pegoraro, S. V. Bulanov

Converging cylindrical electromagnetic fields in vacuum have been shown (E. I. Zababakhin, M. N. Nechaev, {\it Soviet Physics JETP}, {\bf 6}, 345 (1958)) to exhibit amplitude "cumu…

Lagrangian and Dirac constraints for the ideal incompressible fluid and magnetohydrodynamics

P. J. Morrison, T. Andreussi, F. Pegoraro

The incompressibility constraint for fluid flow was imposed by Lagrange in the so-called Lagrangian variable description using his method of multipliers in the Lagrangian (variatio…
