Let $\Gamma\subset \textrm{PSL}_2({\mathbb R})$ be a Fuchsian group of the first kind having a fundamental domain with a finite hyperbolic area, and let $\widetilde\Gamma$ be its cover in $\textrm{SL}_2({\mathbb R})$. Consider the space of…
The S matrix of e--e scattering has the structure of a projection operator that projects incoming separable product states onto entangled two-electron states. In this projection operator the empirical value of the fine-structure constant…

We study a three dimensional non-commutative space emerging in the context of three dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity. Our starting point is the assumption that the isometry group is deformed to the Drinfeld double D(SU(2)). We…
The geometric phase of light is a fascinating phenomenon in optics and arises whenever there is a change in the polarization state of light. It is a fundamentally well-established concept and has recently found extensive applications,…
Guided waves are the perfect carriers of electromagnetic signals in planar miniaturized devices due to their high localization and controlled propagation direction. However, it is still a challenge to control the polarization of propagating…

We generalize Zwanziger's pairwise little group to include a boost subgroup. We do so by working in the celestial sphere representation of scattering amplitudes. We propose that due to late time soft photon and graviton exchanges, matter…
We propose a practical recipe to compute the ${s}$-parametrized maps for systems with $SU(1,1)$ symmetry using a connection between the ${Q}$ and ${P} $ symbols through the action of an operator invariant under the group. The particular…
In this paper we study the global dynamics of the Ehrhard-M\"uller differential system \[ \dot{x} = s(y - x), \quad \dot{y} = rx - xz - y + c, \quad \dot{z} = xy - z, \] where $s$, $r$ and $c$ are real parameters, and $x$, $y$, and $z$ are…
We propose a passive all optical device capable of transforming the orbital angular momentum (OAM) state of light conditioned over the polarization states. The efficiency of this device is ensured due to its linear optical nature. As…
The Biedenharn type relativistic wavefunctions are considered on the group manifold of the Poincar\'{e} group. It is shown that the wavefunctions can be factorized on the group manifold into translation group and Lorentz group parts. A…
We provide an explicit description of the Poincar\'e dual of each generator of the rational cohomology ring of the $SU(2)$ character variety for a genus $g$ surface with central extension -- equivalently, that of the moduli space of stable…
We present an inline optical device consisting of four optical components that produce a laser field consisting of two sub-beams where one is radially polarized and the other is linearly polarized. In the focus, the radially polarized…
A standard procedure to achieve accurate, precise, and fast polarization measurement is to choose analyzing and generating polarization states that yield an $\ell^2$-condition number optimized instrument matrix. This strategy works well for…
