A Linear Structure from Magnetic-Dipole Systems and Its Geometry

Bohuan Lin, Fengping Li, Zhengya Zhang

TL;DR

The paper develops a mathematical framework for magnetic algebras arising from gradient fields of synchronized magnets, focusing on cases where a 2D invariant plane exists. It establishes a structured decomposition (P-decomposition) of the governing map $\mathbb{F}$, enabling explicit analysis of the maximal translational force experienced by a test dipole and the dipole moment $\bar{\mathbf{M}}$ that attains it. Key results connect algebraic invariants (norms and eigenvalues) to geometric bounds on the maximal force, providing both general inequalities and refined bounds under planarity. The work bridges non-associative algebra with magnetism-inspired physical intuition, yielding practical tools for estimating worst-case translational forces in engineered magnetic configurations.

Abstract

We investigate a class of algebras on $\mathbb{R}^3$ arising and generalized from the algebraic structure of magnetic gradient fields induced by systems of synchronous magnets with identical dipole moments (i.e., $\mathbf{M}_i=\mathbf{M},\,\forall i$). We show that when there is a $2$ dimensional sub-algebra, the linear structure associated to such an algebra admits a certain type of decompositions, which allows the locating of the dipole moment $\bar{\mathbf{M}}$ that yields the strongest translational force(s) on a test magnet $\mathfrak{m}$. Upper bounds to the strength of this magnetic force are then established.

Key Result

Theorem 1

Let $(\mathbb{R}^{3},\mathbb{F})$ be a magnetic algebra with an $\mathbb{F}$-invariant plane $\mathcal{P}$. Then, $\mathbb{F}$ admits $\mathcal{P}$-decompostions, all of which can be parameterized by $\gamma\in\mathbb{R}$ in such a way that $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{E}^{\gamma}-\mathbb{P}^{\gamma}$ with
