* ABSTRACT | |||||||
Among the nonlinear theories in plasma physics, the weak turbulence theory has received most attention from the early days of modern plasma physics research (late 1950s - 1970s). However, majority of the available theories to date, deal with nonlinear interactions among plasma particles and electrostatic field. The electromagnetic generalization of the problem has only been accomplished in a formal sense. Instead of formulating the problem from first principle based upon equations of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, a heutristic method pioneered largely by Tsytovich has been adopted by many. This lecture discribes the progess in a research program in which the formulation of fully electromagnetic weak turbulence theory based upon statistical mechanical method is under development. |
