In previous work, a lattice scalar propagator was rigorously defined in $d=1$ flat space and shown to equal the known Klein-Gordon propagator of QFT. This work generalizes this lattice propagator to manifolds whose universal cover is the…
We investigate the fractional Schr\"odinger equation with a periodic $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric potential. In the inverse space, the problem transfers into a first-order nonlocal frequency-delay partial differential equation. We show that at…
We formulate a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach to simulate electromagnetic wave scattering from scatterers embedded in layered dielectric or dispersive media. At the heart of our approach is a derivation of an equivalent…
In this paper, we define time-independent modifiers to construct a long-range scattering theory for discrete schr\"odinger operators on the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^N$. We prove the existence and completeness of modified wave operators in…
Given that the free massive scalar propagator in 2 + 1 dimensional Euclidean space is $D(x-y)=\frac{1}{4\pi \rho} 0.25cm e^{-m \rho} $ with $\rho^2=(x-y)^2$ we present the counterpart of $D(x-y)$ in curved space with a suitably modified…
The motion of a particle in the field of dispiration (due to a wedge disclination and a screw dislocation) is studied by path integration. By gauging $SO(2) \otimes T(1)$, first, we derive the metric, curvature, and torsion of the medium of…
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…
A problem of scattering by a Dirichlet right angle on a discrete square lattice is studied. The waves are governed by a discrete Helmholtz equation. The solution is looked for in the form of the Sommerfeld integral. The Sommerfeld…
In this paper, we study time decay estimates for the Schr\"odinger propagator on the product cone $(X,g)$, where $X=C(\rho \mathbb{S}^{n-1})=(0,\infty)\times \rho\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$. We prove that the usual dispersive estimate holds when the…
Free-space propagation can be described as a shearing of the Wigner distribution function in the spatial coordinate; this shearing is linear in paraxial approximation but assumes a more complex shape for wide-angle propagation. Integration…

We derive dispersion estimates for solutions of a one-dimensional discrete Dirac equations with a potential. In particular, we improve our previous result, weakening the conditions on the potential. To this end we also provide new results…
Dynamics of wavepackets in fractional Schrodinger equation is still an open problem. The difficulty stems from the fact that the fractional Laplacian derivative is essentially a nonlocal operator. We investigate analytically and…
