Kinetic instabilities in weakly collisional, high beta plasmas are investigated using two-dimensional hybrid expanding box simulations with Coulomb collisions modeled through the Langevin equation (corresponding to the Fokker-Planck one). The expansion drives a parallel or perpendicular temperature anisotropy (depending on the orientation of the ambient magnetic field). For the chosen parameters the Coulomb collisions are important with respect to the driver but are not strong enough to keep the system stable with respect to instabilities driven by the proton temperature anisotropy. In the case of the parallel temperature anisotropy the dominant oblique fire hose instability efficiently reduces the anisotropy in a quasilinear manner. In the case of the perpendicular temperature anisotropy the dominant mirror instability generates coherent compressive structures which scatter protons and reduce the temperature anisotropy. For both the cases the instabilities generate temporarily enough wave energy so that the corresponding (anomalous) transport coefficients dominate over the collisional ones and their properties are similar to those in collisionless plasmas.

The Method of Monte-Carlo calculated temperature of Berezinsky – Kosterlitz – Thouless transition in twodimensional superconductor 2nd type in the presence of an external magnetic field. It is shown that near the upper critical field filling cells with a size of ξ × ξ relation, where ξ – coherence length at a given temperature, corresponds to half. It is also shown that ТBKT decreases with increasing interaction between the vortices and antivortices and increase of the external applied magnetic field
