Temperature field analysis is the precondition of studying the heat and mass transfer and durability of a concrete building; thermal conductivity is a key parameter that affects the distribution of the temperature field of concrete. Through reasonable assumptions and simplifications, the relationship between the micro-microscopic composition of concrete and its macroscopic thermal conductivity is established, and a multiscale theoretical model of thermal conductivity considering the influence of interface transition zone (ITZ) is proposed. The model can predict the thermal conductivities of concrete and its components at an arbitrary saturation. Subsequently, the influence of saturation, water-cement ratio, volume fraction and type of coarse aggregate, and sand ratio is researched. Moreover, according to the prediction results of the proposed model, a mesoscale simulation of the concrete temperature field is carried out. The results demonstrate that the presence of aggregate and ITZ leads to the isotherm deflection and abruption at the junction of the phases. Meanwhile, the heat flux density at the corners of the polygonal aggregate is significantly higher than at other positions; the phenomenon, first named the "corner effect" in the research, causes the temperature field distribution of concrete containing polygonal aggregates to be more uneven than that of circular and elliptical aggregates, and it is more likely to produce temperature-induced cracks. The research helps explain the influence mechanism of material components on the thermal conductivity of concrete and the distribution of its temperature field and provides a basis for the fine simulation of concrete thermal crack growth and creep at variable temperatures.

Probing the polarization of gravitational waves (GWs) would provide evidence of graviton, indicating the quantization of gravity. Motivated by the next generation of gravitational wave detectors, we make an attempt to study the possible helicity coupling of structured lights to GWs. With the analog between gravitational fields and the generic electromagnetic media, we present a 4-vector optical Dirac equation based on the Maxwell theory under the paraxial approximation. It is found that twisted lights propagating in a gravitational field can be viewed as a non-Hermitian system with PT symmetry. We further demonstrate that the coupling effect between angular momentums of the GWs and twisted lights may make photons undergo both dipole and quadrupole transitions between different orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) eigenstates and lead to some measurable optical features, including the central intensity brightening and macroscopic rotation of the intensity pattern for twisted lights. The former is spin-independent, while the latter is a spin-dependent phenomenon, both of which can be viewed alternatively as the spin-orbital-Hall effect of structured lights in the GWs and can serve as an indicator of the particle nature of GWs.

7. Classical Compton Amplitude for Scalar QED in Application of Worldline QFT : Computation by Solving Equations of Motion

Beiersdorf Johansson, Emil and Beiersdorf Johansson, Emil
- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compute the classical Compton amplitude by solving the equations of motion through perturbative expansion for scalar QED. The interaction of interest was that of a massive charged relativistic point particle without spin scattering off of a photon. The tree-level classical Compton amplitude was then extracted by projection of the solved photon field onto the outgoing polarization vector, and the resulting amplitude was consistent with recent work and literature. The applied theory, being the framework of worldline QFT, applied to this simpler scalar QED case has in previous studies proven to provide insight into more complex gravitational problems where e.g. spin too is considered., Syftet med denna studie var att beräkna den klassiska Comptonamplituden genom att lösa rörelseekvationerna via perturbativ expansion inom skalär kvantelektrodynamik. Interaktionen av intresse var en massiv laddad relativistisk punktpartikel utan spinn som sprider sig mot en foton. Den klassiska loopfria Comptonamplituden extraherades sedan genom projektion av det lösta fotonfältet på den utgående polarisationsvektorn, och den resulterande amplituden stämde överens med tidigare arbete och litteratur. Den tillämpade teorin, vilket är ramverket av worldline QFT, för detta enklare kvantelektrodynamikfall har tidigare påvisats ge insikt i mer komplexa problem med gravitation där exempelvis även spinn beaktas.

A well-known mystery in quantum mechanics is wave–particle duality: Is an electron a point mass or a physical wave? What is the physical meaning of its wave function? About a hundred years ago, there was a famous debate between Bohr and Einstein on this topic. Their question is still open today. This paper reviews a new theoretical framework to address this problem. Here, it is hypothesized that both photons and electrons are quantized excitation waves of the vacuum, the physical properties of which can be modeled based on the Maxwell theory. Using the method of Helmholtz decomposition, one can show that the wave function of the particle is associated with an electric vector potential called " Z", which plays the role of basic field for the excitation wave. Using this framework, the quantum wave equations can be derived based on a quantization of the Maxwell theory. This work suggests that, the quantum wave function truly represents a physical wave; the wave packet looks like a "particle" only in the macroscopic view. Because the vacuum excitation obeys the principle of all-or-none, the probability of detecting this "particle" is related to the wave function as suggested in the Copenhagen interpretation.

A three-dimensional slowly rotating black hole solution in the presence of negative cosmological constant in the Einstein-power-Maxwell theory is studied. It is shown that in the small rotation limit the electric field, diagonal metric function and thermodynamic properties in the small rotation limit are the same as for static case, whereas the small rotation gives in addition a non-diagonal metric function and magnetic field which are also small. For these functions cased by rotation of black hole it was obtained exact integral solution and analytic asymptotic solution.

Summary: Electromagnetism plays a crucial role in basic and applied physics research. The discovery of electromagnetism as the unifying theory for electricity and magnetism represents a cornerstone in modern physics. Symmetry was crucial to the concept of unification: electromagnetism was soon formulated as a gauge theory in which local phase symmetry explained its mathematical formulation. This early connection between symmetry and electromagnetism shows that a symmetry-based approach to many electromagnetic phenomena is recurrent, even today. Moreover, many recent technological advances are based on the control of electromagnetic radiation in nearly all its spectra and scales, the manipulation of matter-radiation interactions with unprecedented levels of sophistication, or new generations of electromagnetic materials. This is a fertile field for applications and for basic understanding in which symmetry, as in the past, bridges apparently unrelated phenomena-from condensed matter to high-energy physics. In this book, we present modern contributions in which symmetry proves its value as a key tool. From dual-symmetry electrodynamics to applications to sustainable smart buildings, or magnetocardiography, we can find a plentiful crop, full of exciting examples of modern approaches to electromagnetism. In all cases, symmetry sheds light on the theoretical and applied works presented in this book.

We study charged black hole solutions in 4-dimensional (4D) Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-Maxwell theory to the linearized perturbation level. We first compute the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio. We then demonstrate how bulk causal structure analysis imposes a upper bound on the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant in the AdS space. Causality constrains the value of Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant $\alpha_{GB}$ to be bounded by $\alpha_{GB}\leq 0$ as $D\rightarrow 4$., Comment: 13 pages, minor revision, references added

A nonminimal coupling of Weyl curvatures to electromagnetic fields is considered in Brans-Dicke-Maxwell theory. The gravitational field equations are formulated in a Riemannian spacetime where the spacetime torsion is constrained to zero by the method of Lagrange multipliers in the language of exterior differential forms. The significance and ramifications of nonminimal couplings to gravity are examined in a pp-wave spacetime., Koç University

The constraint equations in Maxwell theory are investigated. In analogy with some recent results on the constraints of general relativity, it is shown, regardless of the signature and dimension of the ambient space, that the “divergence of a vector field”-type constraint can always be put into linear first order hyperbolic form for which the global existence and uniqueness of solutions to an initial-boundary value problem are guaranteed.

- Abstract
Analyses of transformer electromagnetic vibration noise are presented in this study. A finite element model is established which combines transient electromagnetic field analysis, mechanical field analysis and acoustic analysis to calculate the sound pressure level of the radiated noise around the transformer. Transient electromagnetic field analysis is performed to get the Lorentz, reluctance magnetic forces and magnetostriction according to Maxwell theory and virtual displacement principle. Mutual influence of strain and magnetisation has been considered. The main frequency components of harmonic electromagnetic excitations are analysed by Fourier transformation so as to carry out the harmonic response analysis and obtain the nodes displacements of the windings and core. The noise distribution is further calculated by acoustic analysis based on the achieved vibration data. Comparison of calculated results and measured data verifies that the combined noise calculating model is applicable for transformer noise prediction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

31. Generalized Abelian Gauge Theory & Generalized Global Symmetry

Hössjer, Emil and Hössjer, Emil
- Abstract
We study Cheeger-Simons differential characters in order to define higher form U(1) gauge fields and their Wilson lines. We then go on to define generalized global symmetries. This is a topological formulation of symmetries which has interesting consequences when the charged operators extend through space. Our main source of such charged operators are the generalized Wilson lines. A higher form Noether theorem and a Ward identity are given for transformations of Wilson lines. As examples of quantum field theories with generalized symmetries we cover Sigma models, Maxwell theory and BF-theory. These are examples of Z, U(1) and Zn symmetries respectively. Finally we discuss spontaneous symmetry breaking for higher dimensional symmetries and a Goldstone theorem is provided. These massless Goldstone bosons are shown to have internal structure corresponding to non-zero spin. The photon is identified as the spin one Goldstone boson in QED. Our review of generalized symmetries is more formal than the ones in other papers. This makes various points explicit and leads to general selection rules. Many results of previous papers are reproduced in detail.

After the derivation of EMT according to the Noether’s theorem, we will discuss the physical meaning of the components of EMT. Then, we especially focus on the EMT in the gauge theory. The final section is dedicated to EMT in the Maxwell theory as an specific example, which will be helpful for the later chapters, where our studies are discussed.

The book by Father Angelo Secchi, titled in Italian L’Unita delle forze fisiche: Saggio di filosofia naturale, represents a modern approach to physics by looking for a unified view of an enormous variety of different phenomena. While this attempt is a common path for many researchers nowadays, in Secchi’s time it was a modern, somewhat revolutionary viewpoint. In a period marked by an increasingly “analytical” approach to science, thanks in part to the development of efficient modern mathematical tools, Secchi decided to adopt for epistemological reasons a “synthetic,” comprehensive view. In this short note, I will describe how this attempt was developed by Secchi in his book, which was published in 1864 and marked, along with Le Stelle and Le Soleil, the first of his three main books.

In a series of recent works based on foliation-based quantization in which renormalizability has been achieved for the physical sector of the theory, we have shown that the use of the standard graviton propagator interferes, due to the presence of the trace mode, with the four-dimensional covariance. A subtlety in the background field method also requires careful handling. This status of the matter motivated us to revisit an Einstein-scalar system in one of the sequels. Continuing the endeavors, we revisit the one-loop renormalization of an Einstein–Maxwell system in the present work. The systematic renormalization of the cosmological and Newton constants is carried out by applying the refined background field method. The one-loop beta function of the vector coupling constant is explicitly computed and compared with the literature. The longstanding problem of the gauge choice dependence of the effective action is addressed, and the manner in which gauge choice independence is restored in the present framework is discussed. The formalism also sheds light on background independent analysis. The renormalization involves a metric field redefinition originally introduced by ’t Hooft; with the field redefinition the theory should be predictive.

The evident seasonality of influenza suggests a significant role for weather and climate as one of several determinants of viral respiratory disease (VRD), including social determinants which play a major role in shaping these phenomena. Based on the current mechanistic understanding of how VRDs are transmitted by small droplets, we identify an environmental variable, Air Drying Capacity (ADC), as an atmospheric state-variable with significant and direct relevance to the transmission of VRD. ADC dictates the evolution and fate of droplets under given temperature and humidity conditions. The definition of this variable is rooted in the Maxwell theory of droplet evolution via coupled heat and mass transfer between droplets and the surrounding environment. We present the climatology of ADC, and compare its observed distribution in space and time to the observed prevalence of influenza and COVID-19 from extensive global data sets. Globally, large ADC values appear to significantly constrain the observed transmission and spread of VRD, consistent with the significant coherency of the observed seasonal cycles of ADC and influenza. Our results introduce a new environmental determinant, rooted in the mechanism of VRD transmission, with potential implications for explaining seasonality of influenza, and for describing how environmental conditions may impact to some degree the evolution of similar VRDs, such as COVID-19.

The full Standard-Model Extension contains operators of arbitrary mass dimension. The recent classification of these operators for gauge theories has substantially broadened the avenue for phenomenological explorations of Lorentz symmetry in electrodynamics. This work focuses on the cubic mass-dimension six contribution to pure Maxwell theory. Its effects on the propagation of light in an external magnetic field are discussed, and the prospects of determining experimental constraints are assessed.

We use the classical double copy to identify a necessary condition for Maxwell theory sources to constitute single copies of Kerr-Schild solutions to Einstein's equations. In the case of four-dimensional Kerr-Schild spacetimes on Minkowski backgrounds, we extend this condition to a parameterization of the corresponding single copies. These are given by Li\'enard-Wiechert fields of charges on complex worldlines. This unifies the known instances of the Kerr-Schild double copy black holes on flat four-dimensional backgrounds into a single framework. Furthermore, we use the more generic condition identified to show why the black ring in five dimensions does not admit Kerr-Schild coordinates., Comment: To be published in JHEP.

The most common physical formalisms are the Lagrangian formalism and the Hamiltonian formalism. From the superficial point of view, they are one and the same, but rewritten in other terms. However, it seems that the Hamiltonian formalism has a richer structure and is more convenient for studying the electromagnetic field, especially in the formalization of its geometrization. Unfortunately for field problems, there is a whole set of Hamiltonian formalisms. The authors study the applicability of different variants of the Hamiltonian formalism to the problems of electrodynamics. In this paper we consider the Hamiltonian formalism with constraints., Comment: in English; in Russian

Using the Wald formalism, we investigate the thermodynamics of charged black holes in D-dimensional stationary spacetimes with or without rotations in Einstein-\ae ther-Maxwell theory. In particular, assuming the existence of a scaling symmetry of the action, we obtain the Smarr integral formula, which can be applied to both Killing and universal horizons. When restricted to 4-dimensional spherically symmetric spacetimes, previous results obtained by a different method are re-derived., Comment: No figures and tables. Phys. Let. B782 (2018) 723-727

A ferromagnetic material can be levitated by the pinning effect of a field-cooled superconductor. This paper presents two methods for modeling this effect: 1) an approximate calculation to determine the relationship between attractive force and air gap at both room temperature and superconductive temperature (77 K) and 2) a novel way of modeling the pinning effect by a finite-element method (FEM). A comparison of analytical and FEM results with experimental results verifies the validity of the methods. The methods can be used to estimate the system's behavior when the cylindrical yoke is replaced by a ring yoke. The stiffness of the system will increase by 70% (to 5.3 N/mm) when a ring yoke with the same surface area is used instead of a cylindrical yoke. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently a novel method has been proposed for the calculation of the scattering of an incoming electromagnetic wave by an arbitrarily shaped photonic crystal. The method rests on the representation of an arbitrary electromagnetic field inside a volume
V by a fictitious surface current distribution along the boundary of this volume which acts as a source for a point response tensor for the medium. The validity of such a representation is rigorously proven. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]- Published

In this paper, we will consider cosmological implications of the Maxwell theory coupled to a non-local $U(1)$-symmetric term. It is well-known that the theory in flat space time, reduces to the Proca theory. However, it will be shown that in curved space time the resulting theory will differ from the coupled Einstein-Proca system. The cosmological perturbations on top of the de Sitter space-time is also considered and the dynamics of separate modes will be investigated in detail. Anisotropic cosmology of the model is also investigated and we will show that the behavior of the universe at late time satisfies the observational data and the model predicts an isotropic universe., 10 pages, 2 figures

In this work, the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of 0.5La 0.7 Ca 0.2 Sr 0.1 MnO 3 /0.5La 0.7 Te 0.3 MnO 3 composite have been investigated. The 0.5La 0.7 Ca 0.2 Sr 0.1 MnO 3 /0.5La 0.7 Te 0.3 MnO 3 composite has been composed by mixing the La 0.7 Ca 0.2 Sr 0.1 MnO 3 and La 0.7 Te 0.3 MnO 3 manganites with a ratio of 0.5:0.5, synthesized by using the standard solid state method. In order to investigate the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of the samples, magnetization measurements dependence on temperature and magnetic field have been performed by using physical property measurement system. The nature of the magnetic phase transition for all materials has been identified by using Banerjee criterion and Landau theory and according to both methods the magnetic phase transition is second order. Magnetic entropy change values have been calculated by using Maxwell relation and Landau theory. Based on Maxwell relation, the maximum magnetic entropy change value of the composite has been calculated as 3.70 Jkg -1 K -1 for 5 T.

We describe a non-minimal higher-derivative extension of Einstein–Maxwell theory in which electrically-charged black holes and point charges have globally regular gravitational and electromagnetic fields. We provide an exact static, spherically symmetric solution of this theory that reduces to the Reissner–Nordström one at weak coupling, but in which the singularity at r = 0 is regularized for arbitrary mass and (non-vanishing) charge. We discuss the properties of these solutions and comment on the physical significance of our results.

In this paper, we have studied the Maxwell radiation from the electron orbiting the nucleus in an atom such as hydrogen atom. The orbiting electron is thought as two oscillating dipoles: one on [Formula: see text]-axis and the other on [Formula: see text]-axis with the same frequency. We have derived the electromagnetic wave and calculated powers of the radiation from these two oscillating dipoles, and then determined the time period it takes for the electron to change its energy levels from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] due to the Maxwell radiation. Compared the time period due to the Maxwell radiation with the time period from the uncertainty principle, it is found that the two time periods are different from each other by about nine orders of magnitude. So, we are led to believe that the Maxwell theory could not be used in the quantum photo emission by the electron in an atom. Thus, we suggest that the quantum photo emission by the electron in an atom may be photon tunneling from the electron [Formula: see text] in an atom.
