It is shown that a finite-amplitude ion-acoustic wave in a uniform magneto- plasma can enhance two-dimensional plasma vortices. The latter results from a modulational instability. The growth rates are obtained analytically.

The two-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries equation is first derived for a weakly relativistic ion acoustic wave propagating in a collisionless plasma. We show that the relativistic effect greatly influences the phase velocity, the amplitude and the width of a solitary wave solution, and that the presence of streaming ions gives rise to the formation of a precursor. We also discuss three limiting cases of the present results.
