The paper studies intrinsic geometry in the tropical plane. Tropical structure in the real affine $n$-space is determined by the integer tangent vectors. Tropical isomorphisms are affine transformations preserving the integer lattice of the…
An almost-toric hypersurface is parameterized by monomials multiplied by polynomials in one extra variable. We determine the Newton polytope of such a hypersurface, and apply this to give an algorithm for computing the implicit equation.
We construct some infinite series of free and nearly free curves using pencils of conics with a base locus of cardinality at most two. These curves have an interesting topology, e.g. a high degree Alexander polynomial that can be explicitly…
We study {\sf traversing} vector flows $v$ on smooth compact manifolds $X$ with boundary. For a given compact manifold $\hat X$, equipped with a traversing vector field $\hat v$ which is {\sf convex} with respect to $\partial\hat X$, we…
The concept of wave front set was introduced in 1969-1970 by M. Sato in the hyperfunctions context and by L. H\"ormander in the $\mathcal C^{\infty}$ context. Howe used the theory of wave front sets in the study of Lie groups…
Analysis of satellite altimetry and Argo float data leads Ni et al. (2020, JGR Oceans) to argue that mesoscale dipoles are widespread features of the global ocean having a relatively uniform three-dimensional structure that can lead to…
In a representation theoretic approach a free q-relativistic wave equation must be such, that the space of solutions is an irreducible representation of the q-Poincare algebra. It is shown how this requirement uniquely determines the q-wave…
We continue, in this second article, the study of the the algebraic tools which play a role in tropical algebra. We especially examine here the polynomial algebras over idempotent semi-fields. this work is motivated by the development of…
Wavefront shaping is increasingly being used in modern microscopy to obtain distortion-free, high-resolution images deep inside inhomogeneous media. Wavefront shaping methods typically rely on the presence of a 'guidestar' in order to find…
This paper investigates the stratification of the discriminant hypersurface associated with a univariate polynomial via the number of its distinct complex roots. We introduce two novel approaches different from the one based on…
We consider wave propagation problems over 2-dimensional domains with piecewise-linear boundaries, possibly including scatterers. We assume that the wave speed is constant, and that the initial conditions and forcing terms are radially…
We characterize the wave front set $WF^P_\ast(u)$ with respect to the iterates of a linear partial differential operator with constant coefficients of a classical distribution $u\in{\mathcal D}'(\Omega)$, $\Omega$ an open subset in…
We study the wave-front set of an element in a $p$-adic reductive Lie algebra (for $p\gg\operatorname{rank}$), namely the set of maximal nilpotent orbits appearing in its Shalika germ expansion. By adapting an algorithm of Waldspurger that…
The last decade has seen the development of a wide set of tools, such as wavefront shaping, computational or fundamental methods, that allow to understand and control light propagation in a complex medium, such as biological tissues or…
This paper gives a geometric interpretation of the notion of quasi-symmetric representation and uses this to show that the discriminant locus associated to such a representation is a hyperplane arrangement. Moreover, we identify this…
This is a straightforward introduction to the properties of polynomials in many variables that do not vanish in the open upper half plane. Such polynomials generalize many of the well-known properties of polynomials with all real roots.
A simple procedure to derive the transformation of a wavefunction under a change of reference frame is applied to some examples and its relation with the transformation of the Hamilton principal function is studied.
By analogy to the theory of harmonic fields on the complex plane, we build the theory of wave-like fields on the plane of double variable. We construct the hyperbolic analogues of point vortices, sources, vortice-sources and their…
This is the full and extended version of the brief note arXiv:1908.00938. A nontrivially solvable 4-dimensional Hamiltonian system is applied to the problem of wave fronts and to the asymptotic theory of partial differential equations. The…
The general method to obtain solutions of the Maxwellian equations from scalar representatives is developed and applied to the diffraction of electromagnetic waves. Kirchhoff's integral is modified to provide explicit expressions for these…
