The dielectric function for electron gas with parabolic energy bands is derived in a fractional dimensional space. The static response function shows a good dimensional dependance. The plasma frequencies are obtained from the roots of the dielectric functions. The plasma dispersion shows strong dimensional dependence. It is found that the plasma frequencies in the low dimensional systems are strongly dependent on the wave vector. It is weakly dependent in the three dimensional system and has a finite value at zero wave vector.

Particle dynamics are investigated in plasma turbulence, using self-consistent kinetic simulations, in two dimensions. In steady state, the trajectories of single protons and proton-pairs are studied, at different values of plasma beta (ratio between
kinetic and magnetic pressure). For single-particle displacements, results are consistent with fluids and magnetic field line dynamics, where particles undergo normal diffusion for very long times, with higher beta being more diffusive. In an intermediate time range, with separations lying in the inertial range, particles experience an explosive dispersion in time, consistent with the Richardson prediction. These results, obtained for the first time with a self-consistent kinetic model, are relevant for astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, where turbulence is crucial for heating, mixing and acceleration processes.
Wave dispersion in a pulsar plasma is discussed emphasizing the relevance of different inertial frames, notably the plasma rest frame ${cal K}$ and the pulsar frame ${cal K}$ in which the plasma is streaming with speed $beta_{rm s}$. The effect of a
Lorentz transformation on both subluminal, $|z|<1$, and superluminal, $|z|>1$, waves is discussed. It is argued that the preferred choice for a relativistically streaming distribution should be a Lorentz-transformed Juttner distribution; such a distribution is compared with other choices including a relativistically streaming Gaussian distribution. A Lorentz transformation of the dielectric tensor is written down, and used to derive an explicit relation between the relativistic plasma dispersion functions in ${cal K}$ and ${cal K}$. It is shown that the dispersion equation can be written in an invariant form, implying a one-to-one correspondence between wave modes in any two inertial frames. Although there are only three modes in the plasma rest frame, it is possible for backward-propagating or negative-frequency solutions in ${cal K}$ to transform into additional forward-propagating, positive-frequency solutions in ${cal K}$ that may be regarded as additional modes.
We explore the multi-faceted important features of turbulence (e.g., anisotropy, dispersion, diffusion) in the three-dimensional (3D) wavenumber domain ($k_parallel$, $k_{perp,1}$, $k_{perp,2}$), by employing the k-filtering technique to the high-qua
lity measurements of fields and particles from the MMS multi-spacecraft constellation. We compute the 3D power spectral densities (PSDs) of magnetic and electric fluctuations (marked as $rm{PSD}(delta mathbf{B}(mathbf{k}))$ and $rm{PSD}(delta mathbf{E}_{langlemathbf{v}_mathrm{i}rangle}(mathbf{k}))$), both of which show a prominent spectral anisotropy in the sub-ion range. We give the first 3D image of the bifurcation between power spectra of the electric and magnetic fluctuations, by calculating the ratio between $rm{PSD}(delta mathbf{E}_{ langlemathbf{v}_mathrm{i}rangle}(mathbf{k}))$ and $rm{PSD}(delta mathbf{B}(mathbf{k}))$, the distribution of which is related to the non-linear dispersion relation. We also compute the ratio between electric spectra in different reference frames defined by the ion bulk velocity, that is $mathrm{PSD}(delta{mathbf{E}_{mathrm{local} mathbf{v}_mathrm{i}}})/mathrm{PSD}(delta{mathbf{E}_{ langlemathbf{v}_mathrm{i}rangle}})$, to visualize the turbulence ion diffusion region (T-IDR) in wavenumber space. The T-IDR has an anisotropy and a preferential direction of wavevectors, which is generally consistent with the plasma wave theory prediction based on the dominance of kinetic Alfven waves (KAW). This work manifests the worth of the k-filtering technique in diagnosing turbulence comprehensively, especially when the electric field is involved.
Potential (electrostatic) surface waves in plasma half-space with degenerate electrons are studied using the quasi-classical mean-field kinetic model. The wave spectrum and the collisionless damping rate are obtained numerically for a wide range of w
avelengths. In the limit of long wavelengths, the wave frequency $omega$ approaches the cold-plasma limit $omega=omega_p/sqrt{2}$ with $omega_p$ being the plasma frequency, while at short wavelengths, the wave spectrum asymptotically approaches the spectrum of zero-sound mode propagating along the boundary. It is shown that the surface waves in this system remain weakly damped at all wavelengths (in contrast to strongly damped surface waves in Maxwellian electron plasmas), and the damping rate nonmonotonically depends on the wavelength, with the maximum (yet small) damping occuring for surface waves with wavelength of $approx5pilambda_{F}$, where $lambda_{F}$ is the Thomas-Fermi length.
The quasilinear theory of the Wigner-Poisson system in one spatial dimension is examined. Conservation laws and properties of the stationary solutions are determined. Quantum effects are shown to manifest themselves in transient periodic oscillations
of the averaged Wigner function in velocity space. The quantum quasilinear theory is checked against numerical simulations of the bump-on-tail and the two-stream instabilities. The predicted wavelength of the oscillations in velocity space agrees well with the numerical results.
