Hyperplanes That Intersect Each Ray Of A Cone Once And A Banach Space Counterexample, Chris Mccarthy
Hyperplanes That Intersect Each Ray Of A Cone Once And A Banach Space Counterexample, Chris Mccarthy
Publications and Research
Suppose � is a cone contained in real vector space �. When does � contain a hyperplane � that intersects each of the 0-rays in �\{0} exactly once? We build on results found in Aliprantis, Tourky, and Klee Jr.’s work to give a partial answer to this question.We also present an example of a salient, closed Banach space cone � for which there does not exist a hyperplane that intersects each 0-ray in � \ {0} exactly once.

Existence of robust edge states at interfaces of topologically dissimilar systems is one of the most fascinating manifestations of a novel nontrivial state of matter, a topological insulator. Such nontrivial states were originally predicted and discovered in condensed matter physics, but they find their counterparts in other fields of physics, including the physics of classical waves and electromagnetism. Here, we present the first experimental realization of a topological insulator for electromagnetic waves based on engineered bianisotropic metamaterials. By employing the near-field scanning technique, we demonstrate experimentally the topologically robust propagation of electromagnetic waves around sharp corners without backscattering effects.

Publications and Research
This paper continues the investigation of isotropy theory for toposes. We develop the theory of isotropy quotients of toposes, culminating in a structure theorem for a class of toposes we call locally anisotropic. The theory has a natural interpretation for inverse semigroups, which clarifies some aspects of how inverse semigroups and toposes are related.
