We review basic physics and novel types of optical angular momentum. We start with a theoretical overview of momentum and angular momentum properties of generic optical fields, and discuss methods for their experimental measurements. In…

The determination of quark angular momentum requires the knowledge of the generalized parton distribution E in the forward limit. We assume a connection between this function and the Sivers transverse-momentum distribution, based on model…

Broadband, coherent light carrying optical angular momentum is of potential utility for a variety of classical and quantum communication applications, but at present few such sources exist. We study the generation of supercontinua in a ring…

After reviewing the WKB series for the Schr\"odinger equation we calculate the semiclassical expansion for the eigenvalues of the angular momentum operator. This is the first systematic semiclassical treatment of the angular momentum for…

In this paper, the deformed Special Relativity, which leads to an essentially new theoretical context of quantum mechanics, is presented. The formulation of the theory arises from a straightforward analogy with the Special Relativity, but…

We calculate the orbital angular momentum of the `quark' in the scalar diquark model as well as that of the electron in QED (to order $\alpha$). We compare the orbital angular momentum obtained from the Jaffe-Manohar decomposition to that…

The algebra of biquaternions possess a manifestly Lorentz invariant form and induces an extended space-time geometry. We consider the links between this complex pre-geometry and real geometry of the Minkowski space-time. Twistor structures…

In this article, we present the definitive transformation formulae of the mass aspect and angular momentum aspect under BMS transformations. Two different approaches that lead to the same formulae are taken. In the first approach, the…

For observers in curved spacetimes, elements of the dual space of the set of linearized Poincar\'e transformations from an observer's tangent space to itself can be naturally interpreted as local linear and angular momenta. We present an…

We study the motion of self deforming bodies with non zero angular momentum when the changing shape is known as a function of time. The conserved angular momentum with respect to the center of mass, when seen from a rotating frame,…

It is customary to assume that the law of conservation of the angular momentum is violated for an asymmetric energy-momentum tensors. This is the reason for criticizing the Minkowski tensor and other asymmetric energy-momentum tensors. In…

We show that a particular noncommutative geometry, sometimes called angular or $\rho$-Minkowski, requires that the spectrum of time be discrete. In this noncommutative space the time variable is not commuting with the angular variable in…

We derive a sum rule for the total quark angular momentum of a spin-one hadronic system within a gauge invariant decomposition of the hadron's spin. We show that the total angular momentum can be measured through deeply virtual Compton…

We engineer angular momentum eigenstates of a single atom by using a novel all-optical approach based on the interference of Laguerre-Gaussian beams. We confirm the imprint of angular momentum by measuring the two-dimensional density…

Scalar-tensor theories have a long history as possible phenomenological alternatives to General Relativity, but are known to potentially produce deviations from the (strong) equivalence principle in systems involving self-gravitating…

The recently suggested quasi-local spin-angular momentum expressions, based on the Bramson superpotential and on the holomorphic or anti-holomorphic spinor fields, are calculated for large spheres near the future null infinity of…

In a previous article [Phys. Rev. D 82 104040 (2010)], we derived an energy-momentum tensor for linear gravity that exhibited positive energy density and causal energy flux. Here we extend this framework by localizing the angular momentum…

The quantum rotor represents, after the harmonic oscillator, the next obvious quantum system to study the complementary pair of variables: the angular momentum and the unitary shift operator in angular momentum. Proper quantification of…

The rigid-irrotational flow transformation in the previous microscopic cranking model (MCRM) for nuclear collective rotation about a single axis and its coupling to intrinsic motion is generalized. This generalization allow us to consider…

The energy-momentum tensor form factors contain a wealth of information about the nucleon. It is insightful to visualize this information in terms of 3D or 2D densities related by Fourier transformations to the form factors. The densities…
