In 2019, Schneidermann and Teicher showed that the Kirk invariant classifies two-component link maps of two-spheres in the four-sphere up to link homotopy. In this paper, we construct a three-component link homotopy invariant. We construct…

Changes in magnetic helicity are often discussed across a variety of fields, from condensed matter physics to early universe cosmology. It is frequently stated that the helicity change is given by the integral of the gauge field strength…

We investigate the evolution of field line helicity for magnetic fields that connect two boundaries without null points, with emphasis on localized finite-B magnetic reconnection. Total (relative) magnetic helicity is already recognized as…

A striking feature of 3 dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs) is the theoretically expected topological magneto-electric (TME) effect, which gives rise to additional terms in Maxwell's laws of electromagnetism with an universal…

We show that the magneto-electric coupling in 3D (strong) topological insulators is related to a second derivative of the bulk magnetization. The formula we derive is the non-linear response analog of the Streda formula for Hall…
