The filamentation and collapse of Langmuir waves in a weak magnetic field are analysed in two particular cases of low-frequency acoustic perturbations: (i) adiabatic perturbations which correspond to subsonic collapse, and (ii) nonadiabatic perturbations which correspond to supersonic collapse. Here the existence of Langmuir filaments and Langmuir collapse in a weak magnetic field are due to nonlinear interaction of high-frequency Langmuir waves (which make small angle with the external magnetic field) with low-frequency acoustic perturbations along the magnetic field.

The resonant nonlinear interaction between three waves in a non-uniform rotating plasma is considered. The coupling coefficients are calculated for the case where the axis of rotation is parallel to an external magnetic field. Owing to similarities between this plasma and a gas of gravitating particles, it is likely that these coefficients can also be useful in the theory of galactic density waves.

A new expression for the second-order dielectric function є(2) (K1,ω1, K2,ω2) is derived from the Vlasov–Poisson equations. The formula is also suitable for the calculation of this quantity in general situations when it is essential to use kinetic theory and when the wave vectors K1 and K2 have arbitrary directions with respect to each other as well as to the external magnetic field. We also consider two earlier formulae for this response function and discuss advantages and disadvantages of the different expressions.
