Symmetries of radial Vlasov-Maxwell equations

Abstract:
Lie group of point symmetries is determined for the Vlasov-Maxwell equations of spherically symmetric plasmas. The cases of multi-component and one-component plasma are considered. Comparison with the case of one-dimensional rectilinear motion of plasma particles is made.
