Atmospheric gravity waves occur in the Earths atmosphere caused by an interplay between gravity and buoyancy forces. These waves have profound impacts on various aspects of the atmosphere, including the patterns of precipitation, cloud…
A kernel method is proposed to estimate the condensed density of the generalized eigenvalues of pencils of Hankel matrices whose elements have a joint noncentral Gaussian distribution with nonidentical covariance. These pencils arise when…
In this paper we consider the generalized inverse iteration for computing ground states of the Gross-Pitaevskii eigenvector problem (GPE). For that we prove explicit linear convergence rates that depend on the maximum eigenvalue in…
Gravitational lensing is most often used as a tool to investigate the distribution of (dark) matter in the universe, but, if the mass distribution is known a priori, it becomes, at least in principle, a powerful probe of gravity itself.…
The growth rate of the large-scale structure of the universe has been advocated as the observable par excellence for testing gravity on cosmological scales. By considering linear-order deviations from General Relativity, we show that…
The gravitational form factors which are obtained from the matrix elements of the energy-momentum tensor provide us information about internal distributions of mass, energy, pressure and shear. The Druck term is the least understood among…
We study the problem of the existence of a local quantum scalar field theory in a general affine metric space that in the semiclassical approximation would lead to the autoparallel motion of wave packets, thus providing a deviation of the…
Theories of gravity invariant under those diffeomorphisms generated by transverse vectors, $\pd_\m\xi^\m=0$ are considered. Such theories are dubbed transverse, and differ from General Relativity in that the determinant of the metric, $g$,…

We numerically integrate the Einstein's equations for a spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaire-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) background spacetime with a spatial curvature perturbation and evolving primordial tensor perturbations using the Einstein…
Training and using modern neural-network based latent-variable generative models (like Variational Autoencoders) often require simultaneously training a generative direction along with an inferential(encoding) direction, which approximates…
Corrections to Newton's inverse law have been so far considered, but not clear in warped higher dimensional worlds, because of complexity of the Einstein equation. Here we give a model of a warped 6D world with an extra 2D sphere. We take a…
A fundamental problem of statistical data analysis, distribution density estimation by experimental data, is considered. A new method with optimal asymptotic behavior, the root density estimator, is developed. The method proposed may be…
Inverse problems in statistical physics are motivated by the challenges of `big data' in different fields, in particular high-throughput experiments in biology. In inverse problems, the usual procedure of statistical physics needs to be…
Collective coordinates in a many-particle system are complex Fourier components of the particle density, and often provide useful physical insights. However, given collective coordinates, it is desirable to infer the particle coordinates…
In geophysics, inverse modelling can be applied to a wide range of goals, including, for instance, mapping the distribution of rock physical parameters in applied geophysics and calibrating models to forecast the behaviour of natural…
A powerful technique to calculate gravitational radiation from binary systems involves a perturbative expansion: if the masses of the two bodies are very different, the "small" body is treated as a point particle of mass $m_p$ moving in the…
Recent work on the mass distribution in spiral galaxies, using mainly HI observations, is reviewed. The principal problem is still to determine to what extent the dark matter is important in the inner parts of a galaxy, or in other words,…
It is well-known that the posterior density of linear inverse problems with Gaussian prior and Gaussian likelihood is also Gaussian, hence completely described by its covariance and expectation. Sampling from a Gaussian posterior may be…
A spherical gravitational wave antenna is distinct from other types of gravitational wave antennas in that only a single detector is necessary to determine the direction and polarization of a gravitational wave. Zhou and Michelson showed…
