Readout-Gramian Kinematics of Optical Phase Singularities: Jacobian Collapse, Fold Annihilation, and Apparent Superluminal Defect Motion

2026-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Optical phase singularities are zeros of a complex field. They are often tracked as particle-like defects, but their measured motion is only a local chart of a zero set. We give a self-contained readout-Gramian formulation of this chart kinematics. For a measured complex field Ψ, define F = (Re Ψ, Im Ψ) and let J_F = ∇ᵣF be the spatial readout amplitude. The positive readout Gramian G_F...
