In the framework of metric-free electrodynamics, we start with a {\em linear} spacetime relation between the excitation 2-form $H = ({\cal D}, {\cal H})$ and the field strength 2-form $F = ({E,B})$. This linear relation is constrained by…
We present a new unified covariant description of electromagnetic field properties for an arbitrary space-time. We derive a complete set of irreducible components describing a six-dimensional electromagnetic field from the Maxwell and…
The problem of unification of electro-magnetism and gravitation in four dimensions; some new ideas involving torsion. A metric consisting of a combination of symmetric and anti-symmetric parts is postulated and, in the framework of general…
We show that only two types of effective metrics are possible in certain nonlinear electromagnetic theories. This is achieved by using the dependence of the effective metric on the energy-momentum tensor of the background along with the…
The effective medium representation is fundamental in providing a performance-to-design approach for many devices based on metamaterials. While there are recent works in extending the effective medium concept into the temporal domain, a…
A state of the art of the different deformations of space-time measured for more than a hundred years in the case of general relativity in the weak field is carried out. The phenomena of general relativity in low fields targeted are…
We derive exact expressions for effective elastodynamic properties of two-phase composites in the long-wavelength (quasistatic) regime via homogenized constitutive relations that are local in space. This is accomplished by extending the…
Informational dependence between statistical or quantum subsystems can be described with Fisher matrix or Fubini-Study metric obtained from variations of the sample/configuration space coordinates. Using these non-covariant objects as…
Electromagnetic fields which solve the vacuum Maxwell equations in one spacetime are well-known to also be solutions in all spacetimes with conformally-related metrics. This provides a sense in which electromagnetism alone cannot be used to…
We explore the intimate connection between spacetime geometry and electrodynamics. This link is already implicit in the constitutive relations between the field strengths and excitations, which are an essential part of the axiomatic…
Third-order tensors are widely used as a mathematical tool for modeling physical properties of media in solid state physics. In most cases, they arise as constitutive tensors of proportionality between basic physics quantities. The…
In the recent paper [17] the first experimental determination of the density matrix of a free electron beam has been reported. The employed method leads to a linear inverse problem with a positive semidefinite operator as unknown. The…
Reflection and refraction of electromagnetic waves by artificial periodic composites (metamaterials) can be accurately modeled by an effective medium theory only if the boundary of the medium is explicitly taken into account and the two…
A fully covariant model for describing the electromagnetic decay of Vector Mesons, both in light and in heavy sectors, is presented. The main ingredients of our approach are i) an Ansatz for the Bethe-Salpeter vertex for Vector Mesons, and…
The fundamental difference between the true transformations (TT) and the apparent transformations (AT) is explained. The TT refer to the same quantity, while the AT refer, e.g., to the same measurement in different inertial frames of…
Minkowski's concept of a four-dimensional physical space is a central paradigm of modern physics. The three-dimensional Maxwellian electrodynamics is uniquely generalized to the covariant four-dimensional form. Is the (1+3) decomposition of…
Applications of the covariant theory of drive-forms are considered for a class of perfectly insulating media. The distinction between the notions of "classical photons" in homogeneous bounded and unbounded stationary media and in stationary…
Following Kottler, \'E.Cartan, and van Dantzig, we formulate the Maxwell equations in a metric independent form in terms of the field strength $F=(E,B)$ and the excitation $H=({\cal D}, {\cal H})$. We assume a linear constitutive law…
We explore a model akin to axion electrodynamics in which the axion field $\theta (t,\mathbf{x})$ rather than being dynamical is a piecewise constant effective parameter $\theta$ encoding the microscopic properties of the medium inasmuch as…
Two known, alternative to each other, forms of the Maxwell's electromagnetic equations in a moving uniform media are investigated and discussed. Approach commonly used after Minkowski is based on the two tensors: H^{ab} = (D, H /c) and…
