چکیده
A bstract We investigate 2 n -dimensional axion electrodynamics for the purpose of exploring a higher-group structure underlying it. This is manifested as Green-Schwarz transformation background gauge fields that couple minimally to conserved currents. The = 3 case studied most intensively. derive identities correlation functions among global symmetry generators by using maps two with each other. key ingredient in this computation given and ’t Hooft anomalies associated transformation. algebraic these results its physical interpretations are discussed detail. In particular, we find endowed multi-ary operation generators.

Wave propagation in axion electrodynamics
In this paper, the axion contribution to the electromagnetic wave propagation is studied. First we show how the axion electrodynamics model can be embedded into a premetric formalism of Maxwell electrodynamics. In this formalism, the axion field is not an arbitrary added Chern-Simon term of the Lagrangian, but emerges in a natural way as an irreducible part of a general constitutive tensor. We ...
متن کاملDetermination of subrepresentations of the standard higher dimensional shearlet group
This paper is devoted to definition standard higher dimension shearlet group $ mathbb{S} = mathbb{R}^{+} times mathbb {R}^{n-1} times mathbb {R}^{n} $ and determination of square integrable subrepresentations of this group. Also we give a characterisation of admissible vectors associated to the Hilbert spaces corresponding to each su brepresentations.
متن کاملMeasuring a piecewise constant axion field in classical electrodynamics
In order to settle the problem of the “Post constraint” in material media, we consider the propagation of a plane electromagnetic wave in a medium with a piecewise constant axion field. Although a constant axion field does not affect the wave propagation in a homogeneous medium, we show that the reflection and transmission of a wave at an interface between the two media is sensitive to the diff...
متن کاملWilson fermions and axion electrodynamics in optical lattices.
We show that ultracold Fermi gases in optical superlattices can be used as quantum simulators of relativistic lattice fermions in 3+1 dimensions. By exploiting laser-assisted tunneling, we find an analogue of the so-called naive Dirac fermions, and thus provide a realization of the fermion doubling problem. Moreover, we show how to implement Wilson fermions, and discuss how their mass can be in...
متن کاملOptical gyrotropy from axion electrodynamics in momentum space.
Several emergent phenomena and phases in solids arise from configurations of the electronic Berry phase in momentum space that are similar to gauge field configurations in real space such as magnetic monopoles. We show that the momentum-space analogue of the "axion electrodynamics" term E·B plays a fundamental role in a unified theory of Berry-phase contributions to optical gyrotropy in time-re...
