Three-wave coupling coefficients for a magnetized plasma

• The resonant interaction between three waves in a uniform magnetized plasma is reconsidered. Starting from previous kinetic expressions, which contain a general but too little used result, we are able to improve the formulae. This leads to an explicit expression for the three-wave coupling coefficient which applies for arbitrary wave propagation in a magnetized Vlasov plasma.
