THE SEMINAR

THEORY OF DUALITY

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 12th of January 2017, at 10:15 a.m.

Tomasz Smołka (KMMF WFUW)

will give a talk on

"Electromagnetic and gravitational Hopfions"

Abstract
Hopfions are a family of field solutions which have non-trivial topological structure. Their connections with Hopf fibration will be presented. I will focus on two physical applications of Hopfions: electromagnetism and linear gravitation. Using the Hopfion solution, I will discuss the problem of energy in linear gravitation.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
