Spacetime Deformations and Electromagnetism in Material Media
This paper is intended to investigate the relation between electrodynamics in anisotropic material media and its analogous formulation in an spacetime, with non-null Riemann curvature tensor. After discussing the electromagnetism via chiral differential forms, we point out the optical activity of a given material medium, closely related to topological spin, and the Faraday rotation, associated ...
متن کاملSpacetime algebra as a powerful tool for electromagnetism
We present a comprehensive introduction to spacetime algebra that emphasizes its practicality and power as a tool for the study of electromagnetism. We carefully develop this natural (Clifford) algebra of theMinkowski spacetime geometry,with a particular focus on its intrinsic (and often overlooked) complex structure. Notably, the scalar imaginary that appears throughout the electromagnetic the...
متن کاملComputation and Spacetime Structure
We investigate the relationship between computation and spacetime structure, focussing on the role of closed timelike curves (CTCs) in promoting computational speedup. We note first that CTC traversal can be interpreted in two distinct ways, depending on ones understanding of spacetime. Focussing on one interpretation leads us to develop a toy universe in which no CTC can be traversed more than...
متن کاملQuantum Information and Spacetime Structure
In modern quantum information theory one deals with an idealized situation when the spacetime dependence of quantum phenomena is neglected. However the transmission and processing of (quantum) information is a physical process in spacetime. Therefore such basic notions in quantum information theory as qubit, channel, composite systems and entangled states should be formulated in space and time....
متن کاملDinamic Monopoles and Spacetime Structure
According to previous work on magnetic monopoles, static regular solutions are nonex-istent if the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs eld is larger than a critical value cr , which is of the order of the Planck mass. In order to understand the properties of monopoles for > cr , we investigate their dynamics numerically and classify those dy-namical solutions into three types as follows. If i...
