We investigate a charged two-dimensional particle in a homogeneous magnetic field interacting with a periodic array of point obstacles. We show that while Landau levels remain to be infinitely degenerate eigenvalues, between them the system…

We calculate analytically the spin-orbital decomposition of the angular momentum using completely non-paraxial fields that have certain degree of linkage of electric and magnetic lines. The split of the angular momentum into spin-orbital…

Working with the assumption of non-zero photon mass and a trajectory that is described by the non geodesic world line of a spinning top we find, by deriving new astrophysical bounds, that this assumption is in contradiction with current…

Various electromagnetic systems can carry an angular momentum in their {\bf E} and {\bf B} fields. The electromagnetic field angular momentum (EMAM) of these systems can combine with the spin angular momentum to give composite fermions or…

The evolution of an entangled photon state propagating through a turbulent atmosphere is formulated in terms of a set of coupled first order differential equations, by using an infinitesimal propagation approach. The orbital angular…

This paper was concerned with the spin-momentum correlation in single-particle quantum states, which is described by the mixed states under Lorentz transformations. For convenience, instead of using the superposition of momenta we use only…

Nontrivial translation matrices occur for spin (A,B)+(C,D) with |A-C| = |B-D| = 1/2, necessarily associating a (C,D) field with a spin (A,B) field. Including translation matrices in covariant non-unitary Poincare representations also…

The Maxwell theory can be written as a first order model with the help of a two-form auxiliary field, such master action allows the proof of duality between $1$-form and $D-3$ forms. Here we show that the replacement of the two-form…

We analyse the Anderson-Higgs mechanism of photon mass acquisition in a plasma and study the contribution to the mass from the orbital angular momentum acquired by a beam of photons when it crosses a spatially structured charge…

A circularly polarized rotationally symmetric paraxial laser beams carries hbar angular momentum per photon as spin. Focussing the beam with a rotationally symmetric lens cannot change this angular momentum flux, yet the focussed beam must…

Recently, a bundle theoretic description of massive single-particle state spaces, which is better suited for Relativistic Quantum Information Theory than the ordinary Hilbert space description, has been suggested. However, the mathematical…

The scaling of entanglement entropy with subsystem size fails to distinguish between gapped and gapless ground state of a scalar field theory in $d>1$ dimensions. We show that the scaling of angular momentum resolved entanglement entropy…

We investigate the possibility of extending the "partially massless" symmetry of a spin-2 field in de Sitter to nonlinear order. To do so, we impose a closure condition on the symmetry transformations. This requirement imposes strong…

We have recently found that the gravitational field of a static spherical mass removes the Landau degeneracy of the energy levels of a particle moving around the mass inside a magnetic field by splitting the energy of the Landau orbitals.…

It is shown that purely bosonic field theories can have configurations with half-integral angular momentum even when the topological magnetic charge of the configuration vanishes. This result is applicable whenever there is a non-Abelian…
