光中的结什么时候会打结?

When do knots in light stay knotted?

Hridesh Kedia, Daniel Peralta-Salas, William TM Irvine

摘要:

一个初始打结的光场将保持打结,如果它满足一组非线性几何约束,即零条件,对所有时空。然而,最初为零的光场何时保持为零的问题仍然难以回答。通过建立麦克斯韦方程组之间的映射和运输沿流动的无压欧拉流体,我们表明,一个最初的分析零光场保持为零,当且仅当初始坡印亭场的流动是无剪切,给出了一个设计规则的建设持续打结光场。此外,我们概述了最初打结零光场,最初零,无剪切光场的构建方法,并给出了充分条件的磁场(或电)场线的零光场的谎言切表面。我们的结果为持续打结光场的设计及其场线结构的研究奠定了基础。

英文摘要:

An initially knotted light field will stay knotted if it satisfies a set of nonlinear, geometric constraints, i.e. the null conditions, for all space-time. However, the question of when an initially null light field stays null has remained challenging to answer. By establishing a mapping between Maxwell's equations and transport along the flow of a pressureless Euler fluid, we show that an initially analytic null light field stays null if and only if the flow of the initial Poynting field is shear-free, giving a design rule for the construction of persistently knotted light fields. Furthermore we outline methods for constructing initially knotted null light fields, and initially null, shear-free light fields, and give sufficient conditions for the magnetic (or electric) field lines of a null light field to lie tangent to surfaces. Our results pave the way for the design of persistently knotted light fields and the study of their field line structure.
