Unified Hydrodynamic Analogue of Aharonov-Bohm and Lense-Thirring Effects

Aditya Singh, Joseph Samuel, Chien-chia Liu +3

We show that surface waves in a draining-bathtub vortex provide a hydrodynamic realization of both Aharonov-Bohm phase shifts and Lense-Thirring frame dragging within a single syst…

Born-Oppenheimer and the Geometry of Ray Space

Joseph Samuel

It is known that, within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, the slow modes of the nuclear motion are altered by three effects that emerge from integrating out the fast modes of th…

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…

Coadjoint orbits and Kähler structure: examples from coherent states

Rukmini Dey, Joseph Samuel, Rithwik S. Vidyarthi

Do co-adjoint orbits of Lie groups support a Kähler structure? We study this question from a point of view derived from coherent states. We examine three examples of Lie groups: th…

Of Light and Shadows: Raychaudhuri's equation, the Big Bang and Black Holes

Joseph Samuel

Einstein's genius and penetrating physical intuition led to the general theory of relativity, which incorporates gravity into the geometry of spacetime. However, the theory of gene…
