Abstract
Geometrical optics is extended so as to provide a model for spinning light rays via the coadjoint orbits of the Euclidean group characterized by color and spin. This leads to a theory of “geometrical spinoptics” in refractive media. Symplectic scattering yields generalized Snell–Descartes laws that include the recently discovered optical Hall effect.
