The paper discusses the dispersion relation of linearly-polarized waves propagating along a strong background magnetic field embedded in an electron-position plasma. Results are applied to the study of the propagating conditions of coherent curvature radio radiation inside neutron star magnetospheres as produced by electric discharges following current pulsar models. It is concluded that the model can fulfill the propagation conditions above the polar caps, while taking into account the presence of the strong stellar magnetic field.

Abstract
The paper discusses the dispersion relation of linearly-polarized waves propagating along a strong background magnetic field embedded in an electron-position plasma. Results are applied to the study of the propagating conditions of coherent curvature radio radiation inside neutron star magnetospheres as produced by electric discharges following current pulsar models. It is concluded that the model can fulfill the propagation conditions above the polar caps, while taking into account the presence of the strong stellar magnetic field.
