Mixed scalar-current bootstrap in three dimensions

Alessandro Vichi, Marten Jan Reehorst

We study the mixed system of correlation functions involving a scalar field charged under a global U(1) symmetry and the associated conserved spin-1 current J(mu). Using numerical bootstrap techniques we obtain bounds on new observables not accessible in t ...

Dynamics of optical forces and torques in plasmonic systems: a surface integral equation

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev

A novel approach is introduced to determine the time evolution of optical forces and torques on arbitrary shape nanostructures by combining Maxwell's stress tensor with the surface integral equation method (SIE). Conventional time averaging of Maxwell’s st ...

Differential operators for superconformal correlation functions

Andrea Manenti

We present a systematic method to expand in components four dimensional superconformal multiplets. The results cover all possible N = 1 multiplets and some cases of interest for N = 2. As an application of the formalism we prove that certain N = 2 spinning ...

Studying the different coupling regimes for a plasmonic particle in a plasmonic trap

Olivier Martin, Jeonghyeon Kim

Plasmonic antennas improve the stiffness and resolution of optical tweezers by producing a strong near-field. When the antenna traps metallic objects, the optically-resonant object affects the near-field trap, and this interaction should be examined to est ...

Guiding-centre theory for kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic modes in strongly flowing plasmas

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, David Pfefferlé, Samuel Lanthaler

A kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic model with kinetic pressure closure is derived from a consistent guiding-centre framework. Higher-order (gyroviscous) corrections to the pressure tensor are derived in complex geometry from a reduced kinetic equation. The prop ...
