Cascades and Dissipative Anomalies in Nearly Collisionless Plasma Turbulence

We develop first-principles theory of kinetic plasma turbulence governed by the Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau equations in the limit of vanishing collision rates. Following an exact renormalization-group approach pioneered by Onsager, we demonstrate the existence of a “collisionless range” of scales (length...
