We consider wave propagation across an infinite waveguide of an arbitrary bounded cross-section, whose interior is blocked by two identical thick barriers with holes. When the holes are small, the waves over a broad range of frequencies are…
Elastic scattering of a wave can be quantified by a shift in the phase with respect to the incoming wave phase. A qualitative measure of the time during which the effect occurs is given by the Wigner time delay. The tunneling time in turn…
Scattering through a straight two-dimensional quantum waveguide Rx(0,d) with Dirichlet boundary conditions on (-\infty,0)x{y=0} \cup (0,\infty)x{y=d} and Neumann boundary condition on (-infty,0)x{y=d} \cup (0,\infty)x{y=0} is considered…
We approach the problem of finding obstructions to curvature distinguished Riemannian metrics by considering Lorentzian metrics to which they are dual in a suitable sense. Obstructions to the latter then yield obstructions to the former.…

Assuming the validity of random matrices for describing the statistics of a closed chaotic quantum system, we study analytically some statistical properties of the S-matrix characterizing scattering in its open counterpart. In the first…
We propose a model to describe the statistical properties of wave scattering through a classically chaotic cavity in the presence of surface absorption. Experimentally, surface absorption could be realized by attaching an "absorbing patch"…
In this paper, we address several interconnected problems in the theory of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. First, we present necessary background and establish one of the main results of the paper: a criterion characterizing…
We prove that on a compact Riemannian manifold, resolvent bounds for the Laplace--Beltrami operator imply observability, and thus controllability, for the Schr\"odinger propagator from time sets of positive Lebesgue measure. Applications…
We consider the time-harmonic scattering wave problem in a 2D waveguide at wavenumber $k$ such that one mode is propagating in the far field. In a first step, for a given $k$, playing with one scattering branch of finite length, we…
The transport of charged particles or photons in a scattering medium can be modelled with a Boltzmann equation. The mathematical treatment for scattering in such scenarios is often simplified if evaluated in a frame where the scattering…
We consider the operators $H_0=M_0^{-1}(x) P(D)$ and $H =M^{-1} (x) P(D)$ where $M_0 (x)$ and $M (x)$ are positively definite bounded matrix-valued functions and $P(D)$ is an elliptic differential operator. Our main result is that the wave…
