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...

We have already studied several kinds of functions of several variables: vector valued functions of a scalar variable – i.e., parameterized curves in the plane and in space; scalar-valued functions of two or more variables (the case of two variables z = f(x, y) giving the graph of a surface in space; and functions from the plane to space, parameterized surfaces. Here we consider functions V fro...

In this paper we consider the harmonicity of the 1-parameter group of local infinitesimal transformations associated to a vector field on a (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold to study this class of vector fields, which we call harmonic-Killing vector fields.

where n = dim M and 6» = ith Betti number of M ( = dim of Hi(M; Q)). Thus the geometric property of M having a nonzero vector field is expressed in terms of the algebraic invariant xM. We will discuss extensions of this idea to vector ^-fields, fields of ^-planes, and foliations of manifolds. All manifolds considered will be connected, smooth and without boundary; all maps will be continuous. F...
