Wavefronts, light rays and caustic associated with the refraction of a plane wave by a conospherical lens
José Israel Galindo-Rodríguez, Gilberto Silva-Ortigoza
The aim of the present work is to introduce a lens whose faces are a conical surface and a spherical surface. We illuminate this lens by a plane wavefront and its associated refrac…
Classical Characterization of quantum waves: Comparison between the caustic and the zeros of the Madelung-Bohm potential
E. Espíndola-Ramos, G. Silva-Ortigoza, C. T. Sosa-Sánchez +6
From a geometric perspective, the caustic is the most classical description of a wavefunction since its evolution is governed by the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. On the other hand, ac…
Exact computation of image disruption under reflection on a smooth surface and Ronchigrams
Edwin Román-Hernández, Gilberto Silva-Ortigoza
We use geometrical optics and the caustic-touching theorem to study, in an exact way, the change in the topology of the image of an object obtained by reflections on an arbitrary s…
Electrodynamic Radiation Reaction and General Relativity
Carlos Kozameh, Ezra T. Newman, Raul Ortega +1
We argue that the well-known problem of the instabilities associated with the self-forces (radiation reaction forces) in classical electrodynamics are possibly stabilized by the in…
On Extracting Physical Content from Asymptotically Flat Space-Time Metrics
C. Kozameh, E. T. Newman, G. Silva-Ortigoza
A major issue in general relativity, from its earliest days to the present, is how to extract physical information from any solution or class of solutions to the Einstein equations…
The Geometry of Regular Shear-Free Null Geodesic Congruences, CR functions and their Application to the Flat-Space Maxwell Equations
Carlos Kozameh, E. T. Newman, Gilberto Silva-Ortigoza
We describe here what appears to be a new structure that is hidden in all asymptotically vanishing Maxwell fields possessing a non-vanishing total charge. Though we are dealing wit…
