For slowly varying wave trains in a linear system, it is known that a quantity proportional to the square of the amplitude propagates with the group velocity. It is shown here, by considering a specific problem of longitudinal waves in a hot electron-plasma and using an asymptotic analysis, that this result continues to be valid even when weak nonlinearities are introduced into the system provided they produce slowly varying wave trains. The method of analysis fails, however, for weakly nonlinear ion-acoustic waves.

The parametric decay of an intense electromagnetic (pump) wave into a back-scattered electromagnetic wave and an electron plasma wave is considered. The dispersion relation for a homogeneous magnetized plasma in the presence of the pump wave is developed in the cold-plasma approximation with the pump frequency large compared to the cyclotron and plasma frequencies. Formulae are derived for the growth rate γ and threshold power PT associated with the instability. The effects of the magnitude and direction of the static magnetic field on γ and PT are studied numerically.

Wave propagation in a hot, collisionless electron plasma (without ambient magnetic field) is analyzed by coisidering the frame of reference in which the field has no space dependence. It is shown that the governing equations are of the same form as those for a cold plasma, and are likely to have corresponding exact (nonlinear, relativistic) solutions. In particular, it is shown that there exists a solution representing a purely transverse, circularly polarized, monochromatic wave. Three approximate forms of the dispersion relation of this wave are obtained explicitly, the first being valid when the temperature correction is small, the second applying to weak waves, and the third to strong waves. Purely longitudinal waves are also discussed.
