The fallacies associated with the gauge concept in electromagnetism are illustrated. A clearer and more valid formulation of the basics of classical electromagnetism is provided by recognizing existing physical constraints as well as the…

We investigate the behaviour of a particle moving on the quotient manifold $M=C^2/Z_$ which is derived from the EH metric as the two centers approach each other. In the classical region of the configuration space we specify the physically…

The geometry of the classical phase space C of a finite number of degrees of freedom determines the possible duality symmetries of the corresponding quantum mechanics. Under duality we understand the relativity of the notion of a quantum…

Starting from the linearized BdG-equation we make the simple observation that pairing can occur between particles with total momenta different from zero, e.g., with equal momentum and opposite spin, in cases of an effective interaction…

The universal mechanism of trapping and localization of sufficiently slow-speed particles by a potential well deepening with time is established on the basis of fundamental relations of classical mechanics. Such wells may be created for a…

Mirrors are one of the most elementary and ubiquitous components of optical systems. They use a sharp refractive index contrast to provide the basic capability of reflecting light. Motivated by recent developments of photonic time-varying…

We study the question whether for a natural Hamiltonian system on a two-dimensional compact configuration manifold, a single trajectory of sufficiently high energy is almost surely enough to reconstruct a real analytic potential.

Classical particle mechanics on curved spaces is related to the flow of ideal fluids, by a dual interpretation of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. As in second quantization, the procedure relates the description of a system with a finite…

This paper proves the existence of potentials of the first and second kind of a Frobenius like structure in a frame which encompasses families of arrangements. Surprisingly the proof is based on the study of finite sets of vectors in a…

We propose a radiation source based on a magnetic mirror cavity. Relativistic electrons are simulated entering the cavity and their trajectories and resulting emission spectra are calculated. The uniformity of the particle orbits is found…

Calculations of two-particle correlations usually assume particles interact only pair-wise after their final collisions with third bodies. By considering classical trajectories, we show that interactions with the mean field can alter the…
