Relativistic pair plasmas are implicated in the physics of the central regions of AGNs, and the observed variability of these sources can be related to the dynamics and changes in structure of these plasmas. To this respect a study of the behaviour of waves to which the pair plasma reacts as a fluid is quite relevant. We analyze the linear response to perturbations of a simple thermal mildly relativistic pair plasma system.
