Abstract

The linear and nonlinear properties of electromagnetic waves, which are excited by a nonuniform electron current almost parallel to the magnetic field lines, are studied in a pair (electron–positron) plasma. The strongly nonlinear stage of weakly interacting modes is controlled by a vector-product type nonlinearity. The latter is responsible for the formation of a dipolar vortex whose salient features are described analytically.
