This chapter introduces you to the capabilities of this module. A summary of the physics interfaces and where you can find documentation and model examples is also included. The last section is a brief overview with links to each chapter in this guide. In this chapter: • About the Wave Optics Module • Overview of the User’s Guide 9 About the Wave Optics Module These topics are included in this section: • About the Wave Optics Module • What Problems Can You Solve? • The Wave Optics Module Physics Interface Guide • Common Physics Interface and Feature Settings and Nodes • Selecting the Study Type • The Wave Optics Module Modeling Process • Where Do I Access the Documentation and Application Libraries? Building a COMSOL Multiphysics Model in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual About the Wave Optics Module The Wave Optics Module extends the functionality of the physics interfaces of the base package for COMSOL Multiphysics. The details of the physics interfaces and study types for the Wave Optics Module are listed in the table in The Wave Optics Module Physics Interface Guide. The functionality of the COMSOL Multiphysics base package is given in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual. The Wave Optics Module solves problems in the field of electromagnetic waves at optical frequencies (corresponding to wavelengths in the nano- to micrometer range). The underlying equations for electromagnetics are automatically available in all of the physics interfaces — a feature unique to COMSOL Multiphysics. This also makes nonstandard modeling easily accessible. The module is useful for simulations and design of optical applications in virtually all areas where you find electromagnetic waves, such as: • Optical fibers • Photonic waveguides • Photonic crystals • Nonlinear optics 10 | CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION • Laser resonator design • Active devices in photonics The physics interfaces cover the following types of electromagnetics field simulations and handle time-harmonic, time-dependent, and eigenfrequency/eigenmode problems: • In-plane, axisymmetric, and full 3D electromagnetic wave propagation • Full vector mode analysis in 2D and 3D Material properties include inhomogeneous and fully anisotropic materials, media with gains or losses, and complex-valued material properties. In addition to the standard postprocessing features, the module supports direct computation of S-parameters and far-field radiation patterns. You can add ports with a wave excitation with specified power level and mode type, and add PMLs (perfectly matched layers) to simulate electromagnetic waves that propagate into an unbounded domain. For time-harmonic simulations, you can use the scattered wave or the total wave. Using the multiphysics capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics you can couple simulations with heat transfer, structural mechanics, fluid flow formulations, and other physical phenomena. What Problems Can You Solve? The Wave Optics Module allows you to make high-frequency electromagnetic wave simulations. It distinguishes itself from the AC/DC Module, in that the AC/DC Module targets quasi-static simulations, where the size of the computational domain is small compared to the wavelength.

  • 1 Electromagnetic Fields and Charges In
    Electromagnetic fields and charges in ‘3+1’ spacetime derived from symmetry in ‘3+3’ spacetime J.E.Carroll Dept. of Engineering, University of Cambridge, CB2 1PZ E-mail: [email protected] PACS 11.10.Kk Field theories in dimensions other than 4 03.50.De Classical electromagnetism, Maxwell equations 41.20Jb Electromagnetic wave propagation 14.80.Hv Magnetic monopoles 14.70.Bh Photons 11.30.Rd Chiral Symmetries Abstract: Maxwell’s classic equations with fields, potentials, positive and negative charges in ‘3+1’ spacetime are derived solely from the symmetry that is required by the Geometric Algebra of a ‘3+3’ spacetime. The observed direction of time is augmented by two additional orthogonal temporal dimensions forming a complex plane where i is the bi-vector determining this plane. Variations in the ‘transverse’ time determine a zero rest mass. Real fields and sources arise from averaging over a contour in transverse time. Positive and negative charges are linked with poles and zeros generating traditional plane waves with ‘right-handed’ E, B, with a direction of propagation k. Conjugation and space-reversal give ‘left-handed’ plane waves without any net change in the chirality of ‘3+3’ spacetime. Resonant wave-packets of left- and right- handed waves can be formed with eigen frequencies equal to the characteristic frequencies (N+½)fO that are observed for photons. 1 1. Introduction There are many and varied starting points for derivations of Maxwell’s equations. For example Kobe uses the gauge invariance of the Schrödinger equation [1] while Feynman, as reported by Dyson, starts with Newton’s classical laws along with quantum non- commutation rules of position and momentum [2].

    Chapter 13 Curvature in Riemannian Manifolds 13.1 The Curvature Tensor If (M, , )isaRiemannianmanifoldand is a connection on M (that is, a connection on TM−), we− saw in Section 11.2 (Proposition 11.8)∇ that the curvature induced by is given by ∇ R(X, Y )= , ∇X ◦∇Y −∇Y ◦∇X −∇[X,Y ] for all X, Y X(M), with R(X, Y ) Γ( om(TM,TM)) = Hom (Γ(TM), Γ(TM)). ∈ ∈ H ∼ C∞(M) Since sections of the tangent bundle are vector fields (Γ(TM)=X(M)), R defines a map R: X(M) X(M) X(M) X(M), × × −→ and, as we observed just after stating Proposition 11.8, R(X, Y )Z is C∞(M)-linear in X, Y, Z and skew-symmetric in X and Y .ItfollowsthatR defines a (1, 3)-tensor, also denoted R, with R : T M T M T M T M. p p × p × p −→ p Experience shows that it is useful to consider the (0, 4)-tensor, also denoted R,givenby R (x, y, z, w)= R (x, y)z,w p p p as well as the expression R(x, y, y, x), which, for an orthonormal pair, of vectors (x, y), is known as the sectional curvature, K(x, y). This last expression brings up a dilemma regarding the choice for the sign of R. With our present choice, the sectional curvature, K(x, y), is given by K(x, y)=R(x, y, y, x)but many authors define K as K(x, y)=R(x, y, x, y). Since R(x, y)isskew-symmetricinx, y, the latter choice corresponds to using R(x, y)insteadofR(x, y), that is, to define R(X, Y ) by − R(X, Y )= + .

In particular, we give a construction of the Batalin- Vilkovisky action of an all-order non-Abelian Born-Infeld deformation of MSYM in the non-minimal pure spinor formalism. We also discuss subtleties in the integration over the pure spinor superspace and the relevance of Berkovits-Nekrasov regularization.

  • Eienstein Field Equations and Heisenberg's Principle Of
    International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 2, Issue 9, September 2012 1 ISSN 2250-3153 EIENSTEIN FIELD EQUATIONS AND HEISENBERG’S PRINCIPLE OF UNCERTAINLY THE CONSUMMATION OF GTR AND UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE 1DR K N PRASANNA KUMAR, 2PROF B S KIRANAGI AND 3PROF C S BAGEWADI ABSTRACT: The Einstein field equations (EFE) or Einstein's equations are a set of 10 equations in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity which describe the fundamental interaction (e&eb) of gravitation as a result of space time being curved by matter and energy. First published by Einstein in 1915 as a tensor equation, the EFE equate spacetime curvature (expressed by the Einstein tensor) with (=) the energy and momentum tensor within that spacetime (expressed by the stress–energy tensor).Both space time curvature tensor and energy and momentum tensor is classified in to various groups based on which objects they are attributed to. It is to be noted that the total amount of energy and mass in the Universe is zero. But as is said in different context, it is like the Bank Credits and Debits, with the individual debits and Credits being conserved, holistically, the conservation and preservation of Debits and Credits occur, and manifest in the form of General Ledger. Transformations of energy also take place individually in the same form and if all such transformations are classified and written as a Transfer Scroll, it should tally with the total, universalistic transformation. This is a very important factor to be borne in mind. Like accounts are classifiable based on rate of interest, balance standing or the age, we can classify the factors and parameters in the Universe, be it age, interaction ability, mass, energy content.

The author is explicit in his aversion to anything geometrical: gravity is a field theory with a mere geometrical \analogy" according to Weinberg. But there is no way to make sense of the equations, in any profound sense, without immersing onself in geometry.

  • Using Field Equations to Determine the Meaning of Informal Texts
    Using Field Equations To Determine The Meaning Of Informal Texts Philippe Larvet Alcatel-Lucent, Bell Labs France, Centre de Villarceaux, Route de Villejust, 91620 Nozay, France Email: [email protected] Abstract Einstein Field Equations (EFE) are used within the Theory of General Relativity to determine the curvature of space- time resulting from the presence of mass and energy. That is, EFE determine the metric tensor of space-time for a given arrangement of stress-energy in the space-time. An informal text, containing phrases and words, can be seen as a portion of space where words determine a semantic curvature resulting from their presence and their meaning. That is, EFE can be used to determine a sort of semantic tensor or semantic field of text-space for a given arrangement of word-semantics within the area of an informal text. This paper describes an original use of Field Equations in order to compute the meaning of informal texts, leading to the ability to determine and compare the significance of any kind of informal documents (articles, book chapters, mails, technical documentation, etc.), even if written in different languages. Keywords Field equations, semantic tensor, semantic field, informal text, text analysis, natural language processing 1. EINSTEIN FIELD EQUATIONS Einstein field equations (EFE) or Einstein's equations are a set of ten equations in Einstein's Theory of General Relativity in which the fundamental force of gravitation is described as a curved spacetime caused by matter and energy [1] They were first published in 1915 [2]. These dynamic equations describe how matter and energy modify the space-time geometry.

Almost one century is over after the discovery of relativity theory, but to date, it continues to yield new results in its mathematical and physical framework. On 10 April 2019, Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) released the first-ever image of a supermassive black hole in the Messier 87 galaxy. It is a milestone of astrophysics and confirms the predictions of Einstein’s relativity theory. Einstein’s general theory of relativity is formulated entirely in terms of differential geometry, in tensor notation, of a four-dimensional manifold combining space and time.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: We introduce a new set of effective field theory rules for constructing La- grangians with N = 1 supersymmetry in collinear superspace. In the standard superspace treatment, superfields are functions of the coordinates xµ; θα; θyα_ , and supersymmetry preservation is manifest at the Lagrangian level in part due to the inclusion of auxiliary F - and D-term components. By contrast, collinear superspace depends on a smaller set of coordinates xµ; η; ηy, where η is a complex Grassmann number without a spinor index. This provides a formulation of supersymmetric theories that depends exclusively on propa- gating degrees of freedom, at the expense of obscuring Lorentz invariance and introducing inverse momentum scales. After establishing the general framework, we construct collinear superspace Lagrangians for free chiral matter and non-Abelian gauge fields. For the latter construction, an important ingredient is a superfield representation that is simultaneously chiral, anti-chiral, and real; this novel object encodes residual gauge transformations on the light cone.
