Abstract
The nonlinear coupling between electromagnetic fields in a strongly magnetized electron-positron plasma is considered. We point out that compressional magnetic field perturbations are excited by the rotational part of the nonlinear current, and derive a new nonlinear system of equations that is basic for studies of modulational instabilities and coherent nonlinear structures in magnetized electron-positron plasmas.
