    Geometries for Possible Kinematics

    Full text link
    The algebras for all possible Lorentzian and Euclidean kinematics with so(3)\frak{so}(3) isotropy except static ones are re-classified. The geometries for algebras are presented by contraction approach. The relations among the geometries are revealed. Almost all geometries fall into pairs. There exists t↔1/(ν2t)t \leftrightarrow 1/(\nu^2t) correspondence in each pair. In the viewpoint of differential geometry, there are only 9 geometries, which have right signature and geometrical spatial isotropy. They are 3 relativistic geometries, 3 absolute-time geometries, and 3 absolute-space geometries.Comment: 40 pages, 7 figure

    Plasmon assisted transmission of high dimensional orbital angular momentum entangled state

    Full text link
    We present an experimental evidence that high dimensional orbital angular momentum entanglement of a pair of photons can be survived after a photon-plasmon-photon conversion. The information of spatial modes can be coherently transmitted by surface plasmons. This experiment primarily studies the high dimensional entangled systems based on surface plasmon with subwavelength structures. It maybe useful in the investigation of spatial mode properties of surface plasmon assisted transmission through subwavelength hole arrays.Comment: 7 pages,6 figure

    Theoretic Limits on the Equation of State Parameter of Quintessence

    Full text link
    The value of scalar field coupled to gravity should be less than the Planck scale in the consistent theory of quantum gravity. It provides a theoretic constraint on the equation of state parameter for the quintessence. In some cases our theoretic constraints are more stringent than the constraints from the present experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures; minor corrections and refs adde
