In this Note, we propose a line bundle approach to odd-dimensional analogues of generalized complex structures. This new approach has three main advantages: (1) it encompasses all existing ones; (2) it elucidates the geometric meaning of…
It is known that the dynamics of planar billiards satisfies strong mixing properties (e.g. exponential decay of correlations) provided that some expansion condition on unstable curves is satisfied. This condition has been shown to always…
Very simple explicit analytical expressions, which are able to describe the dispersion relations of collective modes in strongly coupled plasma fluids, are summarized. The accuracy of these expressions is demonstrated using the comparison…
A geometric framework for describing quantum particles on a possibly curved background is proposed. Natural constructions on certain distributional bundles (`quantum bundles') over the spacetime manifold yield a quantum ``formalism'' along…
Generalized contact bundles are odd dimensional analogues of generalized complex manifolds. They have been introduced recently and very little is known about them. In this paper we study their local structure. Specifically, we prove a local…

In this paper we will extend the notion of tangent bundle to a $\z$ graded tangent bundle. This graded bundle has a Lie algebroid structure and we can develop notions semi-riemannian metrics, Levi-civita connection, and curvature, on it. In…
Despite its ubiquity, the quantum many-body properties of dispersion remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate the entanglement distribution in assemblies of quantum Drude oscillators, minimal models for dispersion-bound systems. We…
The standard covariant differentiation procedure for fields in vector bundles is generalised so as to be applicable to fields in general nonaffine bundles in which the fibres may have an arbitrary nonlinear structure. In addition to the…
We consider modified dispersion relations in quantum field theory on curved space-time. Such relations, despite breaking the local Lorentz invariance at high energy, are considered in several phenomenological approaches to quantum gravity.…
Turbulent relative dispersion is studied theoretically with a focus on the evolution of probability distribution of the relative separation of two passive particles. A finite separation speed and a finite correlation of relative velocity,…

We consider quasistatic fiber bundle models with interactions. Classical load sharing rules are considered, i.e. local, global or decaying as a power-law of distance. All fibers are identically elastic, initially intact, and break at a…
The statistical geometry of dispersing Lagrangian clusters of four particles (tetrahedra) is studied by means of high-resolution direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence. We give the first evidence…
We find the probability density function $\mathcal{P}(V_{\texttt{r}})$ of the relativistic relative velocity for two colliding particles in a non-degenerate relativistic gas. The distribution reduces to Maxwell distribution for the relative…
Relativistic Faddeev equations for three-body scattering are solved at arbitrary energies in terms of momentum vectors without employing a partial wave decomposition. Relativistic invariance is incorporated withing the framework of…
This paper stresses the strong link between the existence of partial holomorphic connections on the normal bundle of a foliation seen as a quotient of the ambient tangent bundle and the extendability of a foliation to an infinitesimal…
The dispersion relations in the real and imaginary parts of the meson self-energies are studied to check the consistency of the "renormalization" in cutoff field theory. It is shown that the dispersion relations are preserved by the…
Certain alternative properties of physical systems are describable by supports of arguments of response functions (e.g. light cone, borders of media) and expressed by projectors; corresponding equations of restraints lead to dispersion…
We present a brief introduction to the relativistic kinetic theory of gases with emphasis on the underlying geometric and Hamiltonian structure of the theory. Our formalism starts with a discussion on the tangent bundle of a Lorentzian…
