A scalar product for computing fundamental quantities in matter
arXiv:2208.01535 · doi:10.3390/sym15101839
Abstract
We introduce a systematic way to obtain expressions for computing the amount of fundamental quantities such as helicity and angular momentum contained in static matter, given its charge and magnetization densities. The method is based on a scalar product that we put forward, which is invariant under the ten-parameter conformal group in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Such group is obtained as the static restriction (frequency ) of the symmetry group of Maxwell equations: The fifteen-parameter conformal group in 3+1 Minkowski spacetime. In an exemplary application, we compute the helicity and angular momentum squared stored in a magnetic Hopfion.
