Small scale processes and macroscopic effects in collisionless plasmas. (English) Zbl 1029.82042

Summary: We discuss the role of microscopic small scale kinetic effects and their possible feedback on the large scale dynamics by considering two problems that exhibit interesting analogies: the nonlinear Landau damping of an electrostatic wave and the nonlinear evolution of collisionless magnetic reconnection.
