Globally defined Carroll symmetry of gravitational waves
Mahmut Elbistan, Peng-Ming Zhang, Peter Horvathy
The local Carroll symmetry of a gravitational wave found in Baldwin-Jeffery-Rosen coordinates is extended to a globally defined one by switching to Brinkmann coordinates. Two indep…
Schrödinger symmetry: a historical review
Christian Duval, Malte Henkel, Peter Horvathy +2
This paper reviews the history of the conformal extension of Galilean symmetry, now called Schrödinger symmetry. In the physics literature, its discovery is commonly attributed to…
Kerner equation for motion in a non-Abelian gauge field
Peter A Horvathy, Peng-Ming Zhang
The equations of motion of an isospin-carrying particle in a Yang-Mills and gravitational field were first proposed in 1968 by Kerner, who considered geodesics in a Kaluza-Klein-ty…
Isospin precession in non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm scattering
Peng-Ming Zhang, Peter Horvathy
The concept of pseudoclassical isospin is illustrated by the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm effect proposed by Wu and Yang in 1975. The spatial motion is free however the isospin preces…
Anyonic spin-Hall effect on the Black Hole horizon
Loic Marsot, Peng-Ming Zhang, Peter Horvathy
Using the fact that the horizon of black holes is a Carroll manifold, we show that an ``exotic photon'' i.e. a particle without mass and charge but with anyonic spin, magnetic mome…
