The interaction of plasma waves plays a crucial role in the dynamics of weakly turbulent plasmas. So far the interaction of non-dispersive waves has been studied. In this paper the theory is extended to dispersive waves. It is well known that dispersive waves may be found in the solar corona, where they contribute to the heating of the corona. Here the possible interactions in the solar corona are described and the interaction rates are derived in the framework of Hall MHD.
