Abstract
Scalar pressure equilibria in which the divergence of the parallel current density vanishes are shown to be free of neoclassical transport (omnigenous), for any asymmetry, any plasma , and in any collisionality regime. The explicit constraint that eliminates neoclassical effects in a long, thin mirror equilibrium in the low- limit is derived, and some model fields considered.
