Non-Abelian Gauge Field Mechanics
Ivan Velkovsky, Carlos Camacho, Tomoki Ozawa +2
Non-Abelian gauge fields play a key role in describing the behavior of particles whose motion is coupled to internal degrees of freedom, such as their spin. Here, we experimentally…

Mechanical cosmology: simulating scalar fluctuations in expanding Universes using synthetic mechanical lattices
Brendan Rhyno, Ivan Velkovsky, Peter Adshead +2
Inspired by recent advances in observational astrophysics and continued explorations in the field of analog gravity, we discuss the prospect of simulating models of cosmology withi…

Observation of chiral solitary waves in a nonlinear Aharonov-Bohm ring
Ivan Velkovsky, Anya Abraham, Enrico Martello +7
Nonlinearities can have a profound influence on the dynamics and equilibrium properties of discrete lattice systems. The simple case of two coupled modes with self-nonlinearities g…
