We build an effective field theory (EFT) for quasicrystals -- aperiodic incommensurate lattice structures -- at finite temperature, entirely based on symmetry arguments and a well-define action principle. By means of Schwinger-Keldysh…

A generic problem of high frequency wave propagation along a metallic strip in parallel above a PEC ground plane is considered. The wave is excited by an elemental electric dipole at an arbitrary location above the PEC plane. The full wave…
