One-way chiral light

GPS and the One-Way Speed of Light

Universal one-way light speed from a universal light speed over closed paths

This paper gives two complete and elementary proofs that if the speed of light over closed paths has a universal value c, then it is possible to synchronize clocks in such a way that the one-way speed of light is c. The first proof is an elementary version of a recent proof. The second provides high precision experimental evidence that it is possible to synchronize clocks in such a way that the...

Light Chiral Dark Sector

An interesting possibility for dark matter is a scalar particle of mass of order 10 MeV – 1 GeV, interacting with a U(1) gauge boson (dark photon) which mixes with the photon. We present a simple and natural model realizing this possibility. The dark matter arises as a composite pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (dark pion) in a non-Abelian gauge sector, which also gives a mass to the dark photon. F...

One−way Anova Example

In this example, we reanalyze the soybean yield data, but treat the explanatory variable as a categorical (ordinal) variable with 4 levels and use one−way anova to test for a significant SO2 effect. We can think of the data as samples from four different populations, corresponding to the SO2 concentration the chambers received, with possibly different means. In each treatment group we have 3 ob...

Physical one-way functions.

Modern cryptographic practice rests on the use of one-way functions, which are easy to evaluate but difficult to invert. Unfortunately, commonly used one-way functions are either based on unproven conjectures or have known vulnerabilities. We show that instead of relying on number theory, the mesoscopic physics of coherent transport through a disordered medium can be used to allocate and authen...
