We describe an experimental test of whether particle decay causes wave function collapse. The test uses interference between two well separated, but coherent, sources of vector mesons. The short-lived mesons decay before their wave…
The stationary background flow in the spherically symmetric infall of a compressible fluid, coupled to the space-time defined by the static Schwarzschild metric, has been subjected to linearized perturbations. The perturbative procedure is…
The notion of periodic two-scale convergence and the method of periodic unfolding are prominent and useful tools in multiscale modeling and analysis of PDEs with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients. In this paper we are interested in…
Dynamic space packing (DSP) is a random process with sequential addition and removal of identical objects into space. In the lattice version, objects are particles occupying single lattice sites, and adding a particle to a lattice site…
Wavefunction collapse models modify Schrodinger's equation so that it describes the rapid evolution of a superposition of macroscopically distinguishable states to one of them. This provides a phenomenological basis for a physical…
We develop a formalism for the calculation of the macroscopic dielectric response of composite systems made of particles of one material embedded periodically within a matrix of another material, each of which is characterized by a well…
The mean-squared displacement (MSD) of a hard sphere and of a dumbbell molecule consisting of two fused hard spheres immersed in a dense hard-sphere system is calculated within the mode-coupling theory for ideal liquid-glass transitions. It…
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in a semi-bounded degenerate plasma (e.g., a metal) are studied using the quasiclassical mean-field kinetic model, taking into account the spatial dispersion of the plasma (due to quantum degeneracy of…
Quantum mechanics is an extremely successful theory that agrees with every experiment. However, the principle of linear superposition, a central tenet of the theory, apparently contradicts a commonplace observation: macroscopic objects are…
We have deluge of data in time series format for numerous phenomena. The number of snapshots, resolution and many other factors come into play as we look to identify the dynamics in a given problem. The pre-processing and post-processing…
Time-periodic form or expression is a ubiquitous natural and man-made phenomenon observable in all the scientific and engineering disciplines. In this article, we propose a theory of periodic sequence (TPS), which can be formulated as a…

Spreading depression (SD) is a wave phenomenon in gray matter tissue. Locally, it is characterized by massive re-distribution of ions across cell membranes. As a consequence, there is a sustained membrane depolarization and tissue…
Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) is a powerful, data-driven method for diagnosing complex dynamics. Various DMD algorithms allow one to fit data with a low-rank model that decomposes it into a sum of coherent spatiotemporal patterns.…
Boostlets are spatiotemporal functions that decompose nondispersive wavefields into a collection of localized waveforms parametrized by dilations, hyperbolic rotations, and translations. We study the sparsity properties of boostlets and…
We demonstrate that the location of a stable photon sphere (PS) in a compact object is not always an edge such as the inner boundary of a black hole shadow, whereas the location of an unstable PS is known to be the shadow edge notably in…

Spatial filtering is a commonly deployed technique to improve the quality of laser beams by optically filtering the noise. In the "textbook" example, the noise is usually assumed to be high frequency and the laser beam, Gaussian. In this…
