Abstract

Little is known on the mathematical theory of hybrid and cyclotron solutions of Maxwell’s equations with the cold plasma dielectric tensor. These equations arise in magnetized plasmas to model an electromagnetic wave in a Tokamak. The solutions can behave extremely di erently from those in vacuum. This work contributes to the local theory of the hybrid resonance by means of an original representation formula based on special functions, a certain eikonal equation and with a careful treatment of the singularity.
