Abstract

The kinetic equations for infinite homogeneous turbulent plasma in a magnetic field are analyzed using a projection operator which allows the time dependence to be maintained in a more exact and consistent manner than has been possible heretofore. By introducing approximations on the multi-time correlation function rather than the fluctuations, as is conventionally done, a hierarchy of equations is obtained which predicts different behaviour for the system especially in connexion with wave-wave interations. These effects are further highlighted by showing how the present results reduce to those obtained by various authors.
