Abstract: In this article we apply a discrete action principle for the Vlasov--Maxwell equations in a structure-preserving particle-field discretization framework. In this framework the finite-dimensional electromagnetic potentials and fields are represented in a discrete de Rham sequence involving general finite element spaces, and the particle-field coupling is represented by a set of projection operators that commute with the differential operators. With a minimal number of assumptions which allow for a variety of finite elements and shape functions for the particles, we show that the resulting variational scheme has a general discrete Poisson structure and thus leads to a semi-discrete Hamiltonian system. By introducing discrete interior products we derive a second type of space discretization which is momentum preserving, based on the same finite elements and shape functions. We illustrate our method by applying it to spline finite elements, and to a new spectral discretization where the particle-field coupling relies on discrete Fourier transforms.
