Abstract: We study, analytically and numerically, reflection and transmission of an arbitrarily polarized vortex beam on an interface separating two dielectric media and derive general expressions for linear and angular Goos-Hänchen (GH) and Imbert-Fedorov shifts. We predict a novel vortex-induced GH shift and also reveal a direct connection between the spin-induced angular shifts and the vortex-induced linear shifts.
