A stochastic dynamics has a natural decomposition into a drift capturing mean rate of change and a martingale increment capturing randomness. They are two statistically uncorrelated, but not necessarily independent mechanisms contributing…
In nonrelativistic quantum mechanics the wave-function of a free particle which initially is in a finite volume immediately spreads to infinity. In a nonrelativistic theory this is of no concern, but we show that the same instantaneous…
Strong interaction with other particles or feedback from the medium on a Brownian particle entail memory effects in the effective dynamics. We discuss the extension of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem to nonequilibrium Langevin systems…
We investigate Einstein theories of gravity, coupled to a scalar field \vphi and point-like matter, which are characterized by a scalar field-dependent matter coupling function e^{H(\vphi)}. We show that under mild constraints on the form…
Einstein's relation E=Mc^2 between the energy E and the mass M is the cornerstone of the relativity theory. This relation is often derived in a context of the relativistic theory for closed systems which do not accelerate. By contrast,…
In this paper we survey, in an elementary fashion, some of the questions that arise when one considers how entanglement and relativity are related via the notion of non-locality. We begin by reviewing the role of entangled states in Bell…

Recently, Ryu et al. showed that two broadened bands connected by a set of four Einstein-coefficient spectra for stimulated and spontaneous single-photon transitions will obey detailed balance at equilibrium if the spectra satisfy…
We study the long-range effective drift and diffusivity of a particle in a random medium moving subject to a given molecular diffusivity and a local drift. The local drift models the effect of a random electrostatic field on a neutral but…
Many of the technical complications associated with the general theory of relativity ultimately stem from the nonlinearity of Einstein's equation. It is shown here that an appropriate choice of dynamical variables may be used to eliminate…
