Memory effects in the exact Kundt wave spacetimes are shown to arise in the behaviour of geodesics in such spacetimes. The types of Kundt spacetimes we consider here are direct products of the form $H^2\times M(1,1)$ and $S^2\times M(1,1)$.…
Electromagnetic memory is an infrared observable of gauge theory associated with soft photons and large gauge transformations. Despite its fundamental theoretical importance, it has not yet been experimentally verified. From a…

A charged particle in a magnetic field possesses discrete energy levels associated with particle's rotation around the field lines. The radiative transitions between these levels are the well-known cyclotron transitions. We show that a…
