چکیده

Recently, a number of experimental observations on the superluminal group velocities pulses propagating in dispersive media have led to reconsidering electromagnetism theory an unconventional framework. To consider faster-than-light phenomena, it is not necessary replace current relativistic theory, but sufficient extend motions way that preserves principle causality. In present paper, new approach study proposed, which avoids introducing unphysical complex quantities and allows for formulation equations are covariant according hyperbolic metric. framework this formalism, Maxwell single-photon wave equation obtained through transformations ordinary equations. It shown contravariant components electromagnetic field determine its magnitude direction, respectively. Furthermore, solutions transformed X-shaped ways spacetime region delimited by infinite light cone two-sheeted hyperboloid perpendicular it. Instead, quantum mechanics, proportional right- left-handed helicities single photon,

Superluminal Localized Waves of Electromagnetic Field in Vacuo

Presented is an overview of electromagnetic versions of the so-called X-type waves intensively studied since their invention in early 1990.-ies in ultrasonics. These waves may be extremely localized both laterally and longitudinally and – what has been considered as most startling – propagate superluminally without apparent spread. Spotlighted are the issues of the relativistic causality, varie...

Wave Scattering by Superluminal Spacetime Slab

Spacetime media offers new opportunities for wave manipulation. Here we study superluminal slabs, and show that the amplitudes of the reflected waves are controlled by the velocity of the medium. In addition, the backward wave continuously scans from the specular to the collinear angle. A diagrammatic method is provided for insight into the deflection angles. A fundamental symmetry between suba...

Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime

We review the mathematically rigorous formulation of the quantum theory of a linear field propagating in a globally hyperbolic spacetime. This formulation is accomplished via the algebraic approach, which, in essence, simultaneously admits all states in all possible (unitarily inequivalent) Hilbert space constructions. The physically nonsingular states are restricted by the requirement that the...

The Spacetime Geometry of a Null Electromagnetic Field

We give a set of local geometric conditions on a spacetime metric which are necessary and sufficient for it to be a null electrovacuum, that is, the metric is part of a solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations with a null electromagnetic field. These conditions are restrictions on a null congruence canonically constructed from the spacetime metric, and can involve up to five derivatives of th...

-expansion in Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime

We discuss -expansion in curved space-time for asymptotically free and asymptotically non-free theories. The existence of stable and unstable xed points is investigated for f 4 theory and SU(2) gauge theory. It is shown that -expansion maybe compatible with asymptotic freedom on special solutions of the RG equations in a special case (supersymmetric theory). Using -expansion RG technique the e ...
