Knots in electromagnetism

M Arrayás, D Bouwmeester, JL Trueba - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
Maxwell equations in vacuum allow for solutions with a non-trivial topology in the electric
and magnetic field line configurations at any given moment in time. One example is a space …

[HTML][HTML] Comments about the electromagnetic field in heavy-ion collisions

L McLerran, V Skokov - Nuclear Physics A, 2014 - Elsevier
In this article we discuss the properties of electromagnetic fields in heavy-ion collisions and
consequences for observables. We address quantitatively the issue of the magnetic field …

Evolution of hydromagnetic turbulence from the electroweak phase transition

A Brandenburg, T Kahniashvili, S Mandal, A Roper Pol… - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We present new simulations of decaying hydromagnetic turbulence for a relativistic equation
of state relevant to the early Universe. We compare helical and nonhelical cases either with …

Axisymmetric equilibrium models for magnetized neutron stars in General Relativity under the Conformally Flat Condition

AG Pili, N Bucciantini… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Extremely magnetized neutron stars with magnetic fields as strong as∼ 10 15− 16 G, or
magnetars, have received considerable attention in the last decade due to their identification …

Dynamical evolution of the chiral magnetic effect: Applications to the quark-gluon plasma

C Manuel, JM Torres-Rincon - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We study the dynamical evolution of the so-called chiral magnetic effect in an
electromagnetic conductor. To this end, we consider the coupled set of corresponding …

Baryon isocurvature constraints on the primordial hypermagnetic fields

K Kamada, F Uchida, J Yokoyama - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
It has been pointed out that hypermagnetic helicity decay at the electroweak symmetry
breaking may have produced the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe through the …

Non-Abelian operation on chiral Majorana fermions by quantum dots

YF Zhou, Z Hou, QF Sun - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We show that if a quantum dot or Majorana zero mode couples to the chiral Majorana
fermions, a resonant exchange of chiral Majorana fermions can occur and leads to a non …

Opacity optimization for 3D line fields

T Günther, C Rössl, H Theisel - ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG), 2013 - dl.acm.org
For the visualization of dense line fields, the careful selection of lines to be rendered is a
vital aspect. In this paper, we present a global line selection approach that is based on an …

Self-organizing knotted magnetic structures in plasma

CB Smiet, S Candelaresi, A Thompson, J Swearngin… - Physical review …, 2015 - APS
We perform full-magnetohydrodynamics simulations on various initially helical
configurations and show that they reconfigure into a state where the magnetic field lines …

[HTML][HTML] Unique topological characterization of braided magnetic fields

AR Yeates, G Hornig - Physics of Plasmas, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
We introduce a topological flux function to quantify the topology of magnetic braids: non-
zero, line-tied magnetic fields whose field lines all connect between two boundaries. This …
