The Helmholtz equation for symmetric, traceless, second-rank tensor fields in three-dimensional flat space is solved in spherical and cylindrical coordinates by separation of variables making use of the corresponding spin-weighted…
Momentum and energy conservation are fundamental tenets of physics, that valid physical theories have to satisfy. In the reversible transformation between superconducting and normal phases in the presence of a magnetic field, the mechanical…
Let $\Omega$ be a domain with noncompact boundary. It is known that the Helmholtz decomposition is not always valid in $L^p(\Omega)$ except for the energy space $L^2 (\Omega)$. In this paper we consider a typical unbounded domain whose…
Admitting the validity of Lorentz transformations for the space as time coordinates of the same event we derive their differential form in order to underline the correct prerequisites for the application of time and length contraction or…
The Panofsky-Wenzel theorem connects the transverse deflecting force in an rf structure with the existence of a longitudinal electric field component. In this paper it is shown that a transverse deflecting force is always accompanied by an…
The Helmholtz equation is notoriously difficult to solve with standard numerical methods, increasingly so, in fact, at higher frequencies. Controllability methods instead transform the problem back to the time-domain, where they seek the…
In this paper, we aim to resolve two fundamental issues in the dynamics of relativity: (i) Under what condition, the time-column space integrals of a Lorentz four-tensor constitute a Lorentz four-vector, and (ii) under what condition, the…
The Lorentz force equations provide a partial description of the geodesic motion of a charged particle on a four-manifold. Under the hypothesis that Maxwell's equations express symmetry properties of the Ricci tensor, the full…
We study overlapping Schwarz methods for the Helmholtz equation posed in any dimension with large, real wavenumber and smooth variable wave speed. The radiation condition is approximated by a Cartesian perfectly-matched layer (PML). The…
We introduce an exact analytical solution of the homogeneous space-fractional Helmholtz equation in cylindrical coordinates. This solution, called vector Space-Fractional Bessel Beam (SFBB), has been established from the Lorenz' gauge…
Electric and magnetic Hertz potentials are a formalism for obtaining solutions of Maxwell's equations from solutions of the inhomogeneous wave equation, with polarisation and magnetisation as the sources. We provide an overview of their…
A classical result in Differential Geometry states that the flows of two smooth vector fields commute if and only if their Lie Bracket vanishes. In this work, we extend this result to a more general setting where one of the vector fields is…
Using the notion of inclination of two subspaces $L$ and $M$ of Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we prove the theorem on the extension of linear continuous functionals defined on the subspace $L$ to $\mathcal{H}$ so that the extended…
We study general properties of certain Lorentz invariant noncommutative quantum field theories proposed in the literature. We show that causality in those theories does not hold, in contrast to the canonical noncommutative field theory with…
We demonstrate that the singular value decomposition algorithm in conjunction with the fast Fourier transform or finite difference procedures provides a straightforward and accurate method for rapidly propagating electric fields in the…
A forgotten experiment by Andr\'e Blondel (1914) proves, as held on the basis of theoretical arguments in a previous paper, that the time variation of the magnetic flux is not the cause of the induced $emf$: the physical agent is instead…
In the context of Stueckelberg's covariant symplectic mechanics, Horwitz and Aharonovich have proposed a simple mechanism by which a particle traveling below light speed almost everywhere may exhibit a transit time that suggests…
One of the concepts of Relativity theory that challenges conventional intuition the most is time dilation and length contraction. Usual approaches for describing relativistic effects in quantum systems merely postulate the consequences of…
A near-field analysis based on Maxwells equations is presented which indicates that the fields generated by both an electric and a magnetic dipole or quadrapole, and also the gravitational waves generated by a quadrapole mass source…
Topology describes properties of physical systems that remain constant under continuous deformations. For infinite vector waves, global topological invariants in position space are typically associated with periodic patterns. We demonstrate…
