Gravitational radiation that propagates through an inhomogeneous mass distribution is subject to random gravitational lensing, or scattering, causing variations in the wave amplitude and temporal smearing of the signal. A statistical theory…

An obstacle $K \subset \R^n,\: n \geq 3,$ $n$ odd, is called trapping if there exists at least one generalized bicharacteristic $\gamma(t)$ of the wave equation staying in a neighborhood of $K$ for all $t \geq 0.$ We examine the…

When a coherent laser beam impinges on a random sample (e.g. a colloidal suspension), the scattered light exhibits characteristic speckles. If the temporal coherence of the light source is too short, then the speckles disappear, along with…
