Invariants in Polarimetric Interferometry: a non-Abelian Gauge Theory
Joseph Samuel, Rajaram Nityananda, Nithyanandan Thyagarajan
The discovery of magnetic fields close to the M87 black hole using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration utilized the novel concept…
Invariants in Co-polar Interferometry: an Abelian Gauge Theory
Nithyanandan Thyagarajan, Rajaram Nityananda, Joseph Samuel
An -element interferometer measures correlations among pairs of array elements. Closure invariants associated with closed loops among array elements are immune to multiplicative…
Comments on "Strongly magnetized cold degenerate electron gas: Mass-radius relation of the magnetized white dwarf"
Rajaram Nityananda, Sushan Konar
The super-massive white dwarf models proposed by Das & Mukhopadhyaya [Phys. Rev. D 86 042001 (2012)], based on modifying the equation of state by a super-strong magnetic field in t…
A critique of recent theories of spin half quantum plasmas
Govind S. Krishnaswami, Rajaram Nityananda, Abhijit Sen +1
In this Letter certain fundamental physics issues relating to recent theories of so-called `spin quantum plasmas' are examined. It is shown that the derivations and some of the res…
Strong constraints on magnetized white dwarfs surpassing the Chandrasekhar mass limit
Rajaram Nityananda, Sushan Konar
We show that recently proposed white dwarf models with masses well in excess of the Chandrasekhar limit, based on modifying the equation of state by a super-strong magnetic field i…
Light beams with general direction and polarization: global description and geometric phase
R. Nityananda, S. Sridhar
We construct the manifold describing the family of plane monochromatic light waves with all directions, polarizations, phases and intensities. A smooth description of polarization,…
