An operator generalisation of the notion of geometric phase has been recently proposed purely based on physical grounds. Here we provide a mathematical foundation for its existence, while uncovering new geometrical structures in quantum…
The use of internal variables for the description of relativistic particles with arbitrary mass and spin in terms of scalar functions is reviewed and applied to the stochastic phase space formulation of quantum mechanics. Following Bacry…
A general recipe is developed for the study of rigid body dynamics in terms of Poincar\'e surfaces of section. A section condition is chosen which captures every trajectory on a given energy surface. The possible topological types of the…
Points of an orbit of a finite Coxeter group G, generated by n reflections starting from a single seed point, are considered as vertices of a polytope (G-polytope) centered at the origin of a real n-dimensional Euclidean space. A general…
The paper developes a geometrization of a Kronecker $h$-regular vertical fundamental metrical d-tensor $G^{(\alpha)(\beta)}_{(i)(j)}$ on the jet fibre bundle of order one $J^1(T,M)$. This geometrization gives a mathematical model for both…
There has been substantial calculational progress in the last few years for gauge theory amplitudes which involve massless four dimensional particles. One of the central ingredients in this has been the ability to keep precise track of the…
The two dimensional surface of a sphere can be parametrized by coordinates representing two charged pions acting as Goldstone bosons of a broken $SU_2$ symmetry. We construct in full concrete detail, and in a general class of coordinate…
Many homogeneous, four-dimensional space-time geometries can be considered within real projective geometry, which yields a mathematically well-defined framework for their deformations and limits without the appearance of singularities.…
Geometric phase, owing to its topological nature and properties of fault tolerance, plays an important role in devising real world applications in both classical and quantum domain. For classical systems, geometric phase has been observed…
We present an approach that enables complete control over the amplitude, phase and arbitrary polarization state on the Poincar\'e sphere of an optical beam in a 4-f system with a spatial light modulator (SLM). The beams can be constructed…
A universal model for D=4 spinning particle is constructed with the configuration space chosen as ${\bf R}^{3,1}\times S^2$, where the sphere corresponds to the spinning degrees of freedom. The Lagrangian includes all the possible…
Even when neglecting diffraction effects, the well-known equations of geometrical optics (GO) are not entirely accurate. Traditional GO treats wave rays as classical particles, which are completely described by their coordinates and…
Basic aspects of the Hamiltonian structure of the parity-violating Poincar\'e gauge theory are studied. We found all possible primary constraints, identified the corresponding critical parameters, and constructed the generic form of the…
An octant representation of higher-order optical modes that includes Laguerre-Gaussian and Hermite-Gaussian modes is presented. The octant picture captures the high-dimensional nature of three-state optical systems and beyond, with standard…
Most genuine multi-sided surface representations depend on a 2D domain that enables a mapping between local parameters and global coordinates. The shape of this domain ranges from regular polygons to curved configurations, but the simple…
Exotic heat equations that allow to prove the Poincar\'e conjecture and its generalizations to any dimension are considered. The methodology used is the PDE's algebraic topology, introduced by A. Pr\'astaro in the geometry of PDE's, in…
We study the dependence of the observable stochastic gravitational wave background induced by a first-order phase transition on the global properties of the scalar effective potential in particle physics. The scalar potential can be that of…
The Poincar\'e polynomial of a Weyl group calculates the Betti numbers of the projective homogeneous space $G/B$, while the $h$-vector of a simple polytope calculates the Betti numbers of the corresponding rationally smooth toric variety.…
Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group. Given a spherical subgroup $H \subset G$ and a subset $I$ of the set of spherical roots of $G/H$, we define, up to conjugation, a spherical subgroup $H_I \subset G$ of the same…
The Poincare-Hopf theorem tells us that given a smooth, structurally stable vector field on a surface of genus g, the number of saddles is 2-2g less than the number of sinks and sources. We generalize this result by introducing a more…
