In the present paper, we aim to constrain the properties of the ionisation region in a star from the oscillation frequency variation (a so-called glitch) caused by rapid structural variations in this very region. In particular, we seek to…

Quantum field model of unstable particles with random mass is suggested to describe the finite-width effects in decay rate. Within the framework of this model we derive the convolution formula for a width of the channels with unstable…

We consider a discrete-time, continuous-state random walk with steps uniformly distributed in a disk of radius of $h$. For a simply connected domain $D$ in the plane, let $\omega_h(0,\cdot;D)$ be the discrete harmonic measure at $0\in D$…
