Force-free electrodynamics is the theoretical paradigm used to describe electromagnetic fields in a region where the inertia of plasma is negligible compared to the strength of the electromagnetic field. While these fields are studied…
In this paper we formulate the relationship between force-free electrodynamics and foliations. The background metric, is considered predetermined and electrically neutral, but otherwise arbitrary. As it turns out, solutions to force-free…
Force-Free Electrodynamics (FFE) is known to describe the highly magnetized plasma around pulsars and astrophysical black holes. The equations describing FFE are highly non-linear and the task of finding a well-defined analytical solution…
In this paper, we present a covariant formalism that connects solutions to force-free electrodynamics in the non-null case and foliations of spacetime. In doing so, we are also able to derive an expression of the general non-null current…
Electromagnetic field configurations with vanishing Lorentz force density are known as force-free and appear in terrestrial, space, and astrophysical plasmas. We explore a general method for finding such configurations based on formulating…
The dynamics of highly magnetized plasmas in extreme astrophysical environments are effectively modeled by Force-Free Electrodynamics (FFE), a framework essential for studying objects like neutron stars and accreting black holes. The…
Force-Free Electrodynamics (FFE) describes magnetically dominated relativistic plasma via non-linear equations for the electromagnetic field alone. Such plasma is thought to play a key role in the physics of pulsars and active black holes.…
The theory of Force-Free Electrodynamics (FFE) provides a robust framework for modeling the magnetospheres of compact objects, where the electromagnetic field's energy density dominates the surrounding plasma. Central to this theory is the…
Force-free electrodynamics (FFE) is a closed set of equations for the electromagnetic field of a magnetically dominated plasma. There are strong arguments for the existence of force-free plasmas near pulsars and active black holes, but FFE…
We introduce an ansatz for force-free electrodynamics in Minkowski spacetime under which the nonlinear system reduces to a semilinear scalar wave equation depending on two spacetime variables. This reduction yields explicit time-dependent…
We give a set of local geometric conditions on a spacetime metric which are necessary and sufficient for it to be a null electrovacuum, that is, the metric is part of a solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations with a null electromagnetic…
It is shown that conformal symmetry exists in force-free electrodynamics (FFE) in Minkowski spacetime, a foundational framework for describing magnetospheres around astronomical objects. In force-free magnetospheres, charges are constrained…
It is shown that force-free electrodynamics (FFE) breaks down in regions where $B^2 -E^2 <0$ (electric zones) even if $\pmb{E}\cdot\pmb{B} =0$. Spontaneous creation of such regions will inevitably lead to plasma oscillations that will…
We show that a large class of null electromagnetic fields are immune to any modifications of Maxwell's equations in the form of arbitrary powers and derivatives of the field strength. These are thus exact solutions to virtually any…
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 find a new family of solutions for force-free magnetic structures in cylindrical geometry. These solutions have radial power-law dependance and are periodic but non-harmonic in azimuthal direction; they generalize the vacuum…
Free electromagnetic fields, satisfying Maxwell's equations with no charges and electric currents, can be described by complex vector fields. In the standard formulation with fields sharply dependent on position and time, one obtains…
Force-free electrodynamics describes the electromagnetic field of the magnetically dominated plasma found near pulsars and active black holes, but gives no information about the underlying particles that ultimately produce the observable…
Maxwell and Dirac fields in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime is investigated using the Newman-Penrose method. The variables are all separable, with the angular dependence given by the spin-weighted spherical harmonics. All the radial…
This paper provides an analytical examination of non-radial geodesics within the context of the spatially flat Friedmann Lema\^itre Robertson Walker (FLRW) spacetime. Using the symmetry properties of the system, two constants of motion…
