Abstract
A general expression for the high-frequency conductivity of a homogeneous, isotropic plasma is obtained. The derivation is based on the use of the Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon hierarchy and therefore includes all effects due to the high-frequency field and the collective interactions up to first order in the plasma parameter. As an application of the general result, a two-temperature plasma with the electron temperature exceeding the ion temperature is studied in detail. It is found that when the ratio of the electron temperature to the ion temperature exceeds 100, there is an enhancement in the resistivity resulting from the excitation of incoherent ion waves.
