Glasser's Master Theorem arXiv:1308.6361v2 is essentially a restatement of Cauchy's integral Theorem reduced to a specialized form. Here we extend that theorem by introducing two new parameters, but still retain a simple form. Because of…
We describe a list of open problems in random matrix theory and the theory of integrable systems that was presented at the conference Asymptotics in Integrable Systems, Random Matrices and Random Processes and Universality, Centre de…
We extend the design of radially symmetric three-dimensional invisibility cloaks through transformation optics to cloaks with a surface of revolution. We derive the expression of the transformation matrix and show that one of its…
A broad class of planar dielectric media with complex permittivity profiles that are fully invisible, for both left and right incidence sides, is introduced. Such optical media are locally isotropic, non-magnetic and belong to the recently…
In this thesis, written in Italian, some original results are presented: two new optical invariants, similar to that of Lagrange, the generalization of the third order Luneburg's aberrations formulae and the detailed proof of the way they…
We continue the development of a manifestly 4-dimensional, completely covariant, approach to transformation optics in linear dielectric materials begun in a previous paper. This approach, which generalizes the Plebanski based approach, is…
Some classical and recent results on the Euler equations governing perfect (incompressible and inviscid) fluid motion are collected and reviewed, with some small novelties scattered throughout. The perspective and emphasis will be given…
M\"uhlig et. al. propose and fabricate a "cloak" comprised of nano-particles on the surface of a sub-wavelength silica sphere. However, the coating only reduces the scattered fields. This is achieved by increased absorption, such that total…
Rapporteur's Introduction to the GT8 session of the Ninth Marcel Grossmann Meeting (Rome, 2000); to appear in the Proceedings.
Invisibility cloaks of light, which used to be confined to the imagination, have now been turned into a scientific reality, thanks to the enabling theoretical tools of transformation optics and conformal mapping. Inspired by those…
Herein, we study an inverse problem for detecting unknown obstacles by the enclosure method using the Dirichlet--to--Neumann map for measurements. We justify the method for an penetrable obstacle case involving a biharmonic equation. We use…
This is the first of several monographs to be devoted to the optics of accelerated systems. They are being published for the benefit of those who may wish to have another way of looking at kineoptical problems, and also to demonstrate that…
We give an overview of results on irregular complex surfaces of general type, discussing in particular the distribution of the numerical invariants self-intersection of a canonical divisor and holomorphic Euler characteristic for the…
In this paper, we establish approximate cloaking for the heat equation via transformation optics. We show that the degree of visibility is of the order $\epsilon$ in three dimensions and $|\ln\epsilon|^{-1}$ in two dimensions, where…
Inverse problems play a key role in modern image/signal processing methods. However, since they are generally ill-conditioned or ill-posed due to lack of observations, their solutions may have significant intrinsic uncertainty. Analysing…
In this paper, a generalization of cloaking is presented: instead of an empty region of space, an inhomogeneous structure is transformed via Pendry's map in order to give, to any object hidden in the central hole of the cloak, a completely…
The intriguing concept of "anti-cloaking" has been recently introduced within the framework of transformation optics (TO), first as a "countermeasure" to invisibility-cloaking (i.e., to restore the scattering response of a cloaked target),…
The phenomenon of half-spectral unidirectional invisibility is introduced for one-dimensional periodic optical structures with tailored real and imaginary refractive index distributions in a non-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric configuration. The…
Problems in optimization and geometric probability are discussed, all connected with angles subtended at an observer's eye by an object at a distance. Several of these remain unsolved.
In this letter a new formula for light deflection is derived using only physically observable concepts. The general result is specialized to cosmological perturbation theory and expressed in terms of gauge--invariant perturbation variables.…
