Abstract

Closed forms are found for the dispersion relations describing the propagation through a uniform anisotropic plasma of the three modes of electromagnetic waves whose wave vectors are perpendicular to a steady and uniform magnetic field. Such relations are found to be conveniently expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions of the second order.
