The combination of Maxwell and X-ray Bloch equations forms an appropriate framework to describe ultrafast time-resolved X-ray experiments on attosecond time scale in crystalline solids. However, broadband experiments such as X-ray…
A method of solving Maxwell equations in a vicinity of a multipole particle (moving along an arbitrary trajectory) is proposed. The method is based on a geometric construction of a trajectory-adapted coordinate system, which simplifies…
Using Wald's formalism, we study the thermodynamics (first laws and Smarr formulae) of asymptotically-flat black holes, rings etc. in a higher-dimensional higher-rank generalization of the Einstein-Maxwell theory. We show how to deal with…
The complex form of Maxwell equations has been constructed as one equation for 3-dimensional complex A-vector. The real and imaginary parts of this vector are described with use of electric and magnetic tensions accordingly. With using a…
Continuum electrodynamics is an axiomatic formal theory based on the macroscopic Maxwell equations and the constitutive relations. We apply the formal theory to a thermodynamically closed system consisting of an antireflection coated block…
In his recently discovered handwritten notes on "An alternate way to handle electrodynamics" dated on 1963, Richard P. Feynman speculated with the idea of getting the inhomogeneous Maxwell's equations for the electric and magnetic fields…
Maxwell's multipoles are a natural geometric characterisation of real functions on the sphere (with fixed $\ell$). The correlations between multipoles for gaussian random functions are calculated, by mapping the spherical functions to…
This paper gives a short review of the history of statistical physics starting from D. Bernoulli's kinetic theory of gases in the 18th century until the recent new developments in nonequilibrium kinetic theory in the last decades of this…
The past 40 years have taught us that nucleons are built of constituents that carry colour charges with interactions governed by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). How experiments (past, present and future) at Jefferson Lab probe colourless…
In this study, we present profiles of some distinguished graduates in mathematics of the Jagiellonian University from the years 1918-1939. We discuss their professional paths and scholarly achievements, instances of scientific…
Crucial experiments have a long history of contributions to progress in physics. Similarly, we claim that in the period roughly from 1955 to 1985 crucial calculations played a significant role in setting the agenda for elementary particle…
The first results of Einstein-Maxwell equations established by Raincih in 1925 are therefore called the Raincih conditions. Later the result was rediscovered by Misner and Wheeler in 1957 and made the basis of their geometrodynamics. The…
In this paper the Maxwell field theory is considered on the $Z_n$ symmetric algebraic curves. As a first result, a large family of nondegenerate metrics is derived for general curves. This allows to treat many differential equations arising…
We consider a modified version of four-dimensional electrodynamics, which has a photonic Chern-Simons-like term with spacelike background vector in the action. Light propagation in curved spacetime backgrounds is discussed using the…
The theory of the dynamical systems is a very complex subject which has brought several surprises in the recent past in connection with the theory of chaos and fractals. The application of the tools of the dynamical systems in cosmological…
In the last two decades we have seen important mutual stimulations between the community working on electrodynamics of continuous media and the community working on spacetime structure. This is highlighted by the publication of two…
We quantize the Maxwell Chern Simons theory in a geometric representation that generalizes the Abelian Loop Representation of Maxwell theory. We find that in the physical sector, the model can be seen as the theory of a massles scalar field…
Shortly after the middle of the past century, a comprehensive presentation of Continuum Mechanics was written under supervision of Clifford Ambrose Truesdell III in two volumes of Siegfried Fluegge's Handbuch der Physik, a first in 1960…
In the first part of this article, I summarise two centuries of research on turbulence. I also critically discuss some of the interpretations that are still in use, as turbulence remains an inherently non-linear problem that is still…
In 1864, J. C. Maxwell introduced a link between self-stressed frameworks in the plane and piecewise linear liftings to 3-space. This connection has found numerous applications in areas such as discrete geometry, control theory and…
