Geometric and quantum properties of charged particles in monochromatic electromagnetic knot background (Q1980310)

In this paper, the authors review recent results on the interaction of the topological electromagnetic fields with matter, in particular with spinless and spin half charged particles obtained earlier. The problems discussed here are the generalized Finsler geometries and their dualities in the Trautman-Rañada backgrounds, the classical dynamics of the charged particles in the single non-null knot mode background and the quantization in the same background in the strong field approximation. The main results of this paper lie in Section 5, where the authors present the quantization of a spin particle in the same knot mode background discussed in Section 4. In the last section, they give a short list of interesting open problems about the systems discussed in the paper here. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1468.53002].
