Hamiltonian structure of the guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell equations

ORAL

Abstract

The Hamiltonian structure of the guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell equations is presented in terms of a Hamiltonian functional and a guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell bracket, which explicitly satisfies the Jacobi property. The bracket is used to show that the guiding-center momentum and angular-momentum conservation laws can also be expressed in Hamiltonian form.
