Electromagnetic Scoot for Dyons Revisited

In the scattering of two electric charges, the particles acquire a shift in their net boost-like angular momentum, balanced by an opposite field contribution. This electromagnetic scoot effect appears at first order in post-Minkowskian expansion (1PM) order when conservation laws are evaluated on constant-time slices, but disappears at this order on hyperboloidal slices. Here, we extend this analysis to scattering involving both electric and magnetic charges and compare the results with the purely electric case in the context of multiparticle state representations.

Chern-Simons potentials of higher-dimensional Pontryagin densities

We develop a novel and systematic approach to computing the $(2n-1)$-form Chern-Simons potential given the Pontryagin density, i.e. the $n^{\text{th}}$ Chern character, in arbitrary even dimensions $D=2 n \geq 2$. Throughout we work with a generic affine connection, that results in a non-vanishing torsion in general, and allows for non-metricity, which accommodates the existence of non-trivial Chern characters and hence Pontryagin densities. We outline an algorithm, with its implementation as a code, which lets one to determine the Chern-Simons potential given the Pontryagin density in an arbitrary even dimension.
