A novel approach to the theory of nonlinear mode coupling in hot magnetized plasma is presented. The formulation retains the conceptual simplicity of the familiar ponderomotive-scalar-potential method, but removes the approximations. The essence of the approach is a canonical transformation of the single-particle Hamiltonian, designed to eliminate those interaction terms which are linear in the fields. The new entity (the ‘oscillation centre’) then has no first-order uttering motion, and generalized ponderomotive forces appear as nonlinear terms in the transformed Hamiltonian. This viewpoint is applied to derive a compact symmetric formula for the general three-wave coupling coefficient in hot uniform magnetized plasma, and to extend the conventional ponderomotive-scalar-potential method to the domain of strongly magnetized plasma.

Linear and nonlinear mechanisms for generating convective cells with finite but small parallel (to the external magnetic field B0) wavelength are presented. The problems of mode-coupling as well as quasi-steady nonlinear mode structures are analytically studied. Possible applications in space plasmas are discussed.

Accounting for an external electron current gradient, a set of nonlinear fluid equations governing the dynamics of kink instability in an inhomogeneous magnetized plasma has been derived. In the linear regime, the dispersion relation is analysed and the variation of the growth rate is graphically shown. In the nonlinear regime, it is shown that a quasi-stationary solution of the mode coupling equations can be represented as a dipolar vortex. Conditions under which the latter arises are given.
