The double-indexed geometric phase for electromagnetics

Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Tom G. Mackay

The double-indexed geometric phase (DIGP) based on a family of Poincaré spinors was formulated to extend the Pancharatnam phase, commonly used to describe the evolution of the pola…

Effects of Outer Giant Planets on In Situ Formation of Inner Super-Earths

Phoebe Sandhaus, Rebekah I. Dawson, Mariah G. MacDonald +2

Recent studies have found an observational correlation between the presence of outer giant planets and inner super-Earths, which implies that outer giants do not suppress the forma…
