Is it possible to actually make Harry's invisibility cloaks? The most promising approach for realizing such magical cloaking in our real world would be to use transformation optics, where an empty space with a distorted geometry is imitated…
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 prospect of rendering objects invisible has intrigued researchers for centuries. Transformation optics based invisibility cloak design is now bringing this goal from science fictions to reality and has already been demonstrated…
The possibility of making an optically large (many wavelengths in diameter) object appear invisible has been a subject of many recent studies. Exact invisibility scenarios for large (relative to the wavelength) objects involve…

We develop a direct and elementary (calculus-free) exposition of the famous cubic surface of revolution x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz=1.12 pages. We have added a second elementary proof that the surface is of revolution.
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…
The acoustic cloaking theory of Norris (2008) permits considerable freedom in choosing the transformation function f from physical to virtual space. The standard process for defining cloak materials is to first define f and then evaluate…
We construct a regular isotropic approximate cloak for the Maxwell system of equations. The method of transformation optics has enabled the design of electromagnetic parameters that cloak a region from external observation. However, these…
For a general complex scattering potential defined on a real line, we show that the equations governing invisibility of the potential are invariant under the combined action of parity and time-reversal (PT) transformation. We determine the…
Love waves are antiplane elastic waves which propagate along the surface of a heterogeneous medium. Under time-harmonic regime, they are governed by a scalar equation of the Helmholtz type. We exploit the invariance of this governing…
