The studies of influence of spin on a photon's motion in a Schwartzschild spacetime is continued. In the previous paper [13] the first order correction to the geodesic motion is found for the first half of the photon world line. The system…

Equations of motion of low-energy effective theories of quantum electrodynamics include infinitely many interaction terms, which make them difficult to solve. The self-duality property has facilitated research on the solutions to these…
A new method is proposed to numerically integrate a dynamical system on a manifold such that the trajectory stably remains on the manifold and preserves first integrals of the system. The idea is that given an initial point in the manifold…
