Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) exhibit scintillation and scattering, often attributed to interactions with plasma screens in the Milky Way and the host galaxy. When these two screens appear "point-like" to each other, two scales of scintillation…
The propagation of light that undergoes multiple-scattering by resonant atomic vapor can be described as a L\'evy flight. L\'evy flight is a random walk with heavy tailed step-size (r) distribution, decaying asymptotically as $P(r)\sim…
Curvature radiation is a natural candidate for the emission mechanism of FRB. However, FRB spectra have structure with $\Delta \nu/\nu \sim \text{0.03--0.2}$, inconsistent with the very smooth spectrum of curvature radiation. Although this…
