Abstract
A dispersion relation for long waves in strongly magnetized multifluid plas ma in a curved spacetime is derived in a covariant form. A generally covari ant form for the ray equations is obtained. The results are applicable to r ay propagation in relativistic plasmas in the vicinity of strongly gravitat ing (black holes) or rapidly rotating (pulsars) systems.
