Hamiltonian structure of the gauge-free gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell equations (2108.09384v3)
Published 20 Aug 2021 in physics.plasm-ph, math-ph, and math.MP
Abstract: The Hamiltonian structure of the gauge-free gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell equations is presented in terms of a Hamiltonian functional and a gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell bracket. The bracket is used to show that the gyrokinetic angular-momentum conservation law can also be expressed in Hamiltonian form. The Jacobi property of the gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell bracket is also demonstrated explicitly.
