We show that the equations satisfied by weakly quasisymmetric magnetic fields can be solved to arbitrarily high order in powers of the distance from the magnetic axis. This demonstration does not consider force balance. The existence of…
Understanding particle drifts in a non-symmetric magnetic field is of primary interest in designing optimized stellarators to minimize the neoclassical radial loss of particles. Quasisymmetry and omnigeneity, two distinct properties…
We prove a rigidity theorem that shows that, under many circumstances, quasi-isometric embeddings of equal rank, higher rank symmetric spaces are close to isometric embeddings. We also produce some surprising examples of quasi-isometric…
We prove the existence of a straight-field-line coordinate system we call generalized Boozer coordinates. This coordinate system exists for magnetic fields with nested toroidal flux surfaces} provided $…
The crystal symmetry of a material dictates the type of topological band structures it may host, and therefore symmetry is the guiding principle to find topological materials. Here we introduce an alternative guiding principle, which we…
Vlasov equilibria of axisymmetric plasmas with vacuum toroidal magnetic field can be reduced, up to a selection of ions and electrons distributions functions, to a Grad-Shafranov-like equation. Quasineutrality narrow the choice of the…
A numerical integration method for guiding-center orbits of charged particles in toroidal fusion devices with three-dimensional field geometry is described. Here, high order interpolation of electromagnetic fields in space is replaced by a…
A new form of quasiclassical space-time dynamics for constrained systems reveals how quantum effects can be derived systematically from canonical quantization of gravitational systems. These quasiclassical methods lead to additional fields,…
Line fields on surfaces are a means to describe the nematic order that may pattern them. The least distorted nematic fields are called uniform, but they can only exist on surfaces with negative constant Gaussian curvature. To identify the…
We analyze the quantum mechanical equivalence of the metrics of a centrally symmetric uncharged gravitational field. We consider the static Schwarzschild metric in spherical and isotropic coordinates, the stationary Eddington-Finkelstein…
We study Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory in 2 noncommutative spatial dimensions and 1 temporal dimension. We consider a finite matrix model obtained by adding a linear boundary field which takes into account boundary fluctuations. The pure…
It is shown that, in some cases, the effect of discrete distributions of flux lines in quantum mechanics can be associated with the effect of continuous distributions of magnetic fields with special symmetries. In particular, flux lines…
A simple algebraic model for charged particle moving in two dimensional space under influence of singular magnetic field is given. The fundamental assumption for the model is that every charged particle coupled to the magnetic field is…
Exact solutions of the equation governing the equilibrium magetohydrodynamic states of an axisymmetric plasma with incompressible flows of arbitrary direction [H. Tasso and G.N.Throumoulopoulos, Phys. Pasmas {\bf 5}, 2378 (1998)] are…
Unlike ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism cannot readily be included in the quasiclassical Keldysh theory because of the rapid spatial variation in the directions of the magnetic moments. The quasiclassical framework is useful because it…
We present a simple calculational scheme for superconducting properties under magnetic fields. A combination of an approximate analytic solution with a free energy functional in the quasiclassical theory provides a wide use formalism for…
The influence of a magnetic field on superconductivity is usually described either phenomenologically, using Ginzburg-Landau theory, or semiclassically using Gor'kov theory. In this article we discuss the influence of magnetic fields on the…
We show that the quasi-stationary states observed in the $N$-particle dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean-Field (HMF) model are nothing but Vlasov stable homogeneous (zero magnetization) states. There is an infinity of Vlasov stable…
Optimising stellarators for quasisymmetry leads to strongly reduced collisional transport and energetic particle losses compared to unoptimised configurations. Though stellarators with precise quasisymmetry have been obtained in the past,…
In [1] was considered the superintegrable system which describes the magnetic dipole with spin 1/2 (neutron) in the field of linear current. Here we present its generalization for any spin which preserves superintegrability. The dynamical…
