The optical Magnus effect refers to transverse shift of a trajectory of light caused by its polarization and appears as a correction to geometrical optics at the linear order in wavelength. Here, we start from Maxwell's equations in a…

We propose a geometric framework where dispersion relations are viewed as parametric surfaces in energy-momentum space. Within this picture, the presence and type of critical points of the surface emerge as clear geometric signatures of…

We show that the relativistic effects are negligibly small in the non-linear density and velocity bispectra. Although the non-linearities of Einstein equation introduce additional non-linear terms to the Newtonian fluid equations, the…

We present exact analogies between the tautochrone problem of mechanics and the squeezed states of quantum optics, to optical lattices. Both phenomena emerge in the same physical system, that of waveguide arrays with non-uniform couplings.…

We consider uniformly rotating incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. We study the suppression of vertical gradients of Lagrangian displacement ("vertical" refers to the direction of the rotation axis). We employ a formalism that…
