We study all possible deformations of the Maxwell algebra. In D=d+1\neq 3 dimensions there is only one-parameter deformation. The deformed algebra is isomorphic to so(d+1,1)\oplus so(d,1) or to so(d,2)\oplus so(d,1) depending on the signs…

We propose an arbitrarily higher (even) order implicit leapfrog scheme for time discretization of a three-field formulation of Maxwell's equations. We use this in conjunction with an arbitrarily higher-order and compatible discretization…
We discuss the construction of Maxwellian electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions and some of its applications. Special emphasis is given to the problem of the retarded potentials and radiation, where substantial differences with respect to the…
The dominant method for defining multivariate operator means is to express them as fix-points under a contraction with respect to the Thompson metric. Although this method is powerful, it crucially depends on monotonicity. We are developing…
In a gravitational field, we analyze the Maxwell equations, the correponding electromagnetic wave and continuity equations. A particular solution for parellel electric and magnetic fields in a gravitational background is presented. These…

We give a geometric description of variational principles in mechanics, with special attention to constrained systems. For the general case of nonholonomic constraints, a unified variational approach is given, and the equations of motion of…
A general scheme of constructing scalar-tensor equivalents to modified gravitational actions are studied using the algebra of exterior differential forms and the first order formalism that allows an independent connection and coframe. By…
We present a method for calculating the results of operation of differential operators operating on components of vector in generalized coordinates not restricted to orthogonal one. For this we use the relationships between covariant,…
In this work we recast the collisional Vlasov-Maxwell and Vlasov-Poisson equations as systems of coupled stochastic and partial differential equations, and we derive stochastic variational principles which underlie such reformulations. We…
The main purpose of this article is to disseminate among a wide audience of physicists a known result, which is available since a couple of years to the \emph{cognoscenti} of differential forms on manifolds; namely, that charge conservation…
Modeling time-harmonic Maxwell problems in heterogeneous media presents significant mathematical and computational challenges. Due to the inherent non-elliptic structure and non-coercive nature of Maxwell equations, conventional methods…
We consider quantum gravitational corrections to Maxwell's equations on flat space background. Although the vacuum polarization is highly gauge dependent, we explicitly show that this gauge dependence is canceled by contributions from the…
