Hamiltonian Reductions in Plasma Physics

School of Physics Nonlinear Science and Mathematical Physics: Presenting Loic de Guillebon, Centre de Physique Théorique

Given the complexity of the dynamics of a plasma, reductions are needed. The Hamiltonian framework offers various ways to carry out such reductions. I will introduce some of these methods by considering in particular the example of gyrokinetics, which is a kinetic model for plasmas in a strong magnetic field.
