The chiral anomaly in the context of an extended standard model with minimal Lorentz invariance violation is studied. Taking into account bounds from measurements of the speed of light, we argue that the chiral anomaly and its consequences…
A plethora of metalenses and diffractive lenses (flat lenses) have been demonstrated over the years. Recently, attempts have been made to stretch their performance envelope, particularly in the direction of wide-band achromatic performance.…

Antenna array calibration is necessary to maintain the high fidelity of beam patterns across a wide range of advanced antenna systems and to ensure channel reciprocity in time division duplexing schemes. Despite the continuous development…
In part I we introduced modified Landweber-Kaczmarz methods and have established a convergence analysis. In the present work we investigate three applications: an inverse problem related to thermoacoustic tomography, a nonlinear inverse…
This paper is devoted to multi-dimensional inverse problems. In this setting, we address a goodness-of-fit testing problem. We investigate the separation rates associated to different kinds of smoothness assumptions and different degrees of…
Atmospheric refraction modifies the apparent position of objects in the sky. We computed the lateral translation that is to be considered for short-range applications, such as wavefront sensing and meteor trajectories. We aim to calculate…

We consider general aspects of N=2 gauge theories in three dimensions, including their multiplet structure, anomalies and non-renormalization theorems. For U(1) gauge theories, we discuss the quantum corrections to the moduli space, and…
We examine the Seidel aberrations of thin spherical lenses composed of media with refractive index not restricted to be positive. We find that consideration of this expanded parameter space allows reduction or elimination of more…

Covariant scalar fields exhibit divergences when quantized in two or more spacetime dimensions: n \geg 2. Does perturbation theory, effective theories, the renormalization group, etc., tell us all there is to know about these problems? An…
Detecting anomalies in musculoskeletal radiographs is of paramount importance for large-scale screening in the radiology workflow. Supervised deep networks take for granted a large number of annotations by radiologists, which is often…
Algebraic non-covariant gauges are used often in string theory, Chern-Simons theory, gravitation and gauge theories. Loop integrals, however, have spurious singularities that need to be regularized. The most popular and consistent…
This study seeks a better comprehension of anomalies by exploring (n+1)-point perturbative amplitudes in a 2n-dimensional framework. The involved structures combine axial and vector vertices into odd tensors. This configuration enables…
Multifocal plane microscopy (MUM) allows three dimensional objects to be imaged in a single camera frame. Our approach uses dual orthogonal diffraction phase gratings with a quadratic distortion of the lines to apply defocus to the first…
Gauge symmetries lead to first-class constraints. This assertion is of course true only for non trivial gauge symmetries, i.e., gauge symmetries that act non trivially on-shell on the dynamical variables. We illustrate this well-appreciated…
Accurate characterization of laser beams is crucial for applications ranging from laser-based material processing to gravitational wave detection, where even minor measurement deviations can significantly impact system performance. This…
Calibration is commonly evaluated by comparing model confidence with its empirical correctness, implicitly treating reliability as a function of the confidence score alone. However, this view can hide substantial structure: models may be…
Thick diffractive optical elements offer a promising way to achieve focusing or imaging at a resolution approaching 1 nm for X-ray wavelengths shorter than about 0.1 nm. Efficient focusing requires that these are fabricated with structures…
