                         polarized electromagnetic wave in a relativistic hot weakly 
                         magnetized electron-positron plasma. The case of parallel 
                         propagation along an ambient magnetic field is considered. A 
                         nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation is derived for the complex 
                         wave amplitude of a self-modulated wave packet. We show that the 
                         maximum growth rate of the modulational instability decreases as 
                         the temperature of the pair plasma increases. Depending on the 
                         initial conditions, the unstable wave envelope can evolve 
                         nonlinearly to either periodic wave trains or solitary waves. This 
                         theory has application to high-energy astrophysics and high-power 
                         laser physics.",
