Auxiliary Potentials In Chiral Media
In the present paper, the expressions for scalar and vector potentials in lossless isotropic chiral media are analyzed. Propagating eigenvalues of these potentials are then obtained. Furthermore by decomposition of sources and fields in a chiral medium, we introduce the auxiliary right-and left-handed potentials and find the associated fields. These potentials are used to solve the problem of a...
متن کاملThe Berry Phase and Monopoles in Gluodynamics
We introduce a gauge invariant definition of a monopole on the lattice. The construction is based on the observation that for each Wilson loop there exists an extra U(1) group which leaves the loop invariant. Since the lattice formulation utilizes the language of Wilson loops, the definition of the monopole charge in terms of this plaquette dependent U(1) is gauge invariant. The explicit constr...
متن کاملPp-waves from Bps Supergravity Monopoles
We discuss the Penrose limit of the Chamseddine-Volkov BPS self-gravitating monopole in four dimensional N = 4 supergravity theory with non-abelian gauge multiplets. We analyze the properties of the resulting supersymmetric pp-wave solutions when various Penrose limits are considered. Apart from the usual rescaling of coordinates and fields we find that a rescaling of the gauge coupling constan...
متن کاملNon-Abelian Berry Phases and BPS Monopoles
We study a simple quantum mechanical model of a spinning particle moving on a sphere in the presence of a magnetic field. The system has two ground states. As the magnetic field is varied, the ground states mix through a non-Abelian Berry phase. We show that this Berry phase is the path ordered exponential of the smooth SU(2) ’t Hooft-Polyakov monopole. We further show that, by adjusting a pote...
متن کاملNegative reflections of electromagnetic waves in chiral media
We investigate the reflection properties of electromagnetic/optical waves in isotropic chiral media. When the chiral parameter is strong enough, we show that an unusual negative reflection occurs at the interface of the chiral medium and a perfectly conducting plane, where the incident wave and one of reflected eigenwaves lie in the same side of the boundary normal. Using such a property, we fu...
