چکیده

We show that the effective gauge field for photons provides a versatile platform for controlling the flow of light. As an example we consider a photonic resonator lattice where the coupling strength between nearest neighbor resonators are harmonically modulated. By choosing different spatial distributions of the modulation phases, and hence imposing different inhomogeneous effective magnetic field configurations, we numerically demonstrate a wide variety of propagation effects including negative refraction, one-way mirror, and on and off-axis focusing. Since the effective gauge field is imposed dynamically after a structure is constructed, our work points to the importance of the temporal degree of freedom for controlling the spatial flow of light.

The effective electromagnetic interaction in a dense fermionic medium in QED 2+1. Abstract The effective Lagrangian of arbitrary varying in space electromagnetic field in a dense medium is derived. It has been used for investigation of interaction between charged fermions in the medium. It is shown the possibility for the formation of metastable electron bound states in the medium when external...

We construct the theory of non-abelian gauge antisymmetric tensor fields, which generalize the standard Yang-MIlls fields and abelian gauge p-forms. The corresponding gauge group acts on the space of inhomogeneous differential forms and it is shown to be a supergroup. We construct the theory of non-abelian gauge antisymmetric tensor fields, which generalize the standard Yang-MIlls fields and ab...

A non–parametric gauge for supermembranes is introduced which substantially simplifies previous treatments and directly leads to the supersymmetric extension of a Kármán–Tsien gas. As shown in [1], the dynamics of a relativistic membrane in 4 space–time dimensions is closely related to that of a 2–dimensional irrotational isentropic gas, whose pressure–density relation if of the ‘Kármán–Tsien’ ...
