A charged particle initially at rest in an external magnetic field starts to rotate when the magnetic field is switched off. This is a variant of the Feynman disc paradox, where the conservation of angular momentum is seemingly violated.…
The Markov chain statistical multifragmentation model predicts inhomogeneous distributions of fragments and their isospin in the freeze-out volume caused by an angular momentum and external long-range Coulomb field. These effects can take…

We analyze radiation of a charge moving in a vacuum channel in an anisotropic non-gyrotropic medium with plasma-like components of the permittivity tensor. The expressions for field components are obtained and analyzed. It is shown that the…
We provide a vivid demonstration of the mechanical effect of transverse spin momentum in an optical beam in free space. This component of the Poynting momentum was previously thought to be virtual, and unmeasurable. Here, its effect is…

We review the description of classical gravitational scatterings of two compact objects by means of the eikonal framework. This encodes via scattering amplitudes both the motion of the bodies and the gravitational-wave signals that such…

This paper inspects more closely the problem of the momentum and energy of a bound (non-radiating) electromagnetic (EM) field. It has been shown that for an isolated system of non-relativistic mechanically free charged particles a…

We derive a theoretical model of mass and angular momentum scaling in type-II critical collapse with rotation. We focus on the case where the critical solution has precisely one, spherically symmetric, unstable mode. We demonstrate…
Bulk motions of electrons along the line of sight induce secondary temperature fluctuations in the post-decoupling, reionized universe. In the presence of a magnetic field not only the scalar mode but also the vector mode act as a source…
We trace the evolution of cosmic microwave background photons propagating through a reionized model universe. The reionization of the intergalactic medium is achieved by UV photons emitted from the decaying `hot' dark matter neutrinos. The…
In relativistic physics, angular momentum is paired with a lesser known conserved quantity, the "mass moment", which appears as the time-space components of the angular momentum tensor. Calculations of mass moment in electromagnetic and…
Elongated particles in dense systems often exhibit alignment due to volume exclusion interactions, leading to packing configurations. Traditional models of collective dynamics typically impose this alignment phenomenologically, neglecting…
A deformable body can rotate even with no angular momentum, simply by changing its shape. A good example is a falling cat, how it maneuvers in air to land on its feet. Here a first principles molecular level example of the phenomenon is…
Strong transient magnetic fields are generated in non-central relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These fields induce anisotropy within the strongly interacting medium that, in principle, can affect the thermodynamic properties of the…
Disordered packings of soft grains are fragile mechanical systems that loose rigidity upon lowering the external pressure towards zero. At zero pressure, we find that any infinitesimal strain-impulse propagates initially as a non-linear…
Superfluid vortices are quantum excitations carrying quantized amount of orbital angular momentum in a phase where global symmetry is spontaneously broken. We address a question of whether magnetic vortices in superconductors with dynamical…
