Loop quantum cosmology of the k=0 FRW model (with a massless scalar field) is shown to be exactly soluble if the scalar field is used as the internal time already in the classical Hamiltonian theory. Analytical methods are then used i) to…

Optical vortex knots have been realized in monochromatic laser beams, but monochromatic fields are stationary and their topology is frozen. Here we show that knotted spatiotemporal vortices, whose phase singularities form closed loops in…
