Electromagnetic control based on Lie symmetry transformation

An design method of electromagnetic metamaterial based on Lie symmetry of Maxwell's equation is proposed, which is applied to the modulation of electromagnetic wave / light. Firstly, the electromagnetic control model based on metamaterials is introduced, then according to the theory of Transformation Optics (TO), Lie symmetry analysis is applied to the coordinate transformation of material physical space, and the key core is the determining equations of Lie symmetry is derived. Secondly, the analytical forms of constitutive parameters (permittivity and permeability) of metamaterials are introduced, which can be used to design all kinds of electromagnetic metamaterials. Finally, the Lie symmetry method is applied to the control of electromagnetic beam width. The results show that the metamaterial based on Lie symmetry of Maxwell's equation have good field distribution, and it overcomes the single subjectivity of traditional coordinate transformation in optical transformation. The wave simulation by COMSOL Multiphysics software verify the correctness of Lie symmetry method.

Gauge independent quantum gravitational corrections to Maxwell’s equation

We consider quantum gravitational corrections to Maxwell’s equations on flat space background. Although the vacuum polarization is highly gauge dependent, we explicitly show that this gauge dependence is canceled by contributions from the source which disturbs the effective field and the observer who measures it. Our final result is a gauge independent, real and causal effective field equation that can be used in the same way as the classical Maxwell equation.

High-frequency conductivity at Larmor-frequency in human brain using moving local window multilayer perceptron neural network

Magnetic resonance electrical properties tomography (MREPT) aims to visualize the internal high-frequency conductivity distribution at Larmor frequency using the B1 transceive phase data. From the magnetic field perturbation by the electrical field associated with the radiofrequency (RF) magnetic field, the high-frequency conductivity and permittivity distributions inside the human brain have been reconstructed based on the Maxwell’s equation. Starting from the Maxwell’s equation, the complex permittivity can be described as a second order elliptic partial differential equation. The established reconstruction algorithms have focused on simplifying and/or regularizing the elliptic partial differential equation to reduce the noise artifact. Using the nonlinear relationship between the Maxwell’s equation, measured magnetic field, and conductivity distribution, we design a deep learning model to visualize the high-frequency conductivity in the brain, directly derived from measured magnetic flux density. The designed moving local window multi-layer perceptron (MLW-MLP) neural network by sliding local window consisting of neighboring voxels around each voxel predicts the high-frequency conductivity distribution in each local window. The designed MLW-MLP uses a family of multiple groups, consisting of the gradients and Laplacian of measured B1 phase data, as the input layer in a local window. The output layer of MLW-MLP returns the conductivity values in each local window. By taking a non-local mean filtering approach in the local window, we reconstruct a noise suppressed conductivity image while maintaining spatial resolution. To verify the proposed method, we used B1 phase datasets acquired from eight human subjects (five subjects for training procedure and three subjects for predicting the conductivity in the brain).

Solitary waves for a fractional Klein–Gordon–Maxwell equations

We investigate existence of solutions for a fractional Klein–Gordon coupled with Maxwell's equation. On the basis of overcoming the lack of compactness, we obtain that there is a radially symmetric solution for the critical system by means of variational methods.

Extremely short optical pulses and superstrings

We analyze the propagation of an extremely short optical pulse from the numerical solution of the Maxwell’s equation related to the effective action obtained in the framework of the theory of superstrings in flat time space. The pulse dynamics turned out to be unstable and eventually leads to a collapse. We particularly analyze the Schwinger mechanism which occurs during the collapse of the pulse.
