Structured Gaussians From Geometric Quantisation
Kerr Maxwell
We develop a geometric description of structured Gaussian beams, a form a structured light, by applying geometric quantisation and symplectic reduction to the 2D harmonic oscillato…

Stochastic Stokes origami: folds, cusps and skyrmionic facets in random polarisation fields
Kerr Maxwell, Mark R Dennis
We consider the jacobian of a random transverse polarisation field, from the transverse plane to the Poincaré sphere, as a Skyrme density partially covering the sphere. Connected…
