Thomas Rotation and Polarised Light: A non-Abelian Geometric Phase in Optics
Joseph Samuel, Supurna Sinha
We describe a non-Abelian Berry phase in polarisation optics, suggested by an analogy due to Nityananda between boosts in special relativity and the effect of elliptic dichroism on…

The Geometric Phase and Ray Space Isometries
Joseph Samuel
We study the behaviour of the geometric phase under isometries of the ray space. This leads to a better understanding of a theorem first proved by Wigner: isometries of the ray spa…
