Covariant electrodynamics in linear media: Optical metric
Robert T. Thompson
While the postulate of covariance of Maxwell's equations for all inertial observers led Einstein to special relativity, it was the further demand of general covariance -- form inva…
Covariant kinematics of light in media and a generalized Raychaudhuri equation
Robert T. Thompson, Mohsen Fathi
There is ongoing interest in adopting various tools and ideas from general relativity for optical applications and the study of light propagation through natural or engineered medi…
The Minimum Halo Mass for Star Formation at z = 6 - 8
K. Finlator, M. K. M. Prescott, B. D. Oppenheimer +6
Recent analysis of strongly-lensed sources in the Hubble Frontier Fields indicates that the rest-frame UV luminosity function of galaxies at 6--8 rises as a power law down to $…
On Spacetime Transformation Optics: Temporal and Spatial Dispersion
Jonathan Gratus, Paul Kinsler, Martin W. McCall +1
The electromagnetic implementation of cloaking, the hiding of objects from sight by diverting and reassembling illuminating electromagnetic fields has now been with us ten years, w…
Cartographic distortions make dielectric spacetime analog models imperfect mimickers
Mohsen Fathi, Robert T. Thompson
It is commonly assumed that if the optical metric of a dielectric medium is identical to the metric of a vacuum space-time then light propagation through the dielectric mimics ligh…
Fresnel-Fizeau drag: Invisibility conditions for all inertial observers
Jad C. Halimeh, Robert T. Thompson
It was recently shown [Halimeh et al. arXiv:1510.06144 (to appear in Phys. Rev. A)] that as a result of the Doppler effect, inherently dispersive single-frequency ideal free-space…
