We provide a review of some symmetry-related literature on the eikonal equations $u_\mu u_\mu =0$,$u_\mu u_\mu =1$, where lower indices at dependent variables designate derivatives, $\mu=0,1,2,..,n$ and summation is implied over the…
The adiabatic approximation has formed the basis for much of our understandings of the interaction of light and electrons. The classical non-recoil approximation or quantum mechanical Wolkow states of free electron waves have been routinely…

We solve the geodesic deviation equations for the orbital motions in the Schwarzschild metric which are close to a circular orbit. It turns out that in this particular case the equations reduce to a linear system, which after…
Typical applications of gravitational lensing use the properties of electromagnetic or gravitational waves to infer the geometry through which those waves propagate. Nevertheless, the optical fields themselves - as opposed to their…
We introduce a high-order spline geometric approach for the initial boundary value problem for Maxwell's equations. The method is geometric in the sense that it discretizes in structure preserving fashion the two de Rham sequences of…
