We study the statistical properties of an ensemble of weak gravitational waves interacting nonlinearly in a flat space-time. We show that the resonant three-wave interactions are absent and develop a theory for four-wave interactions in a…

A fundamental question in wave turbulence theory is to understand how the "wave kinetic equation" (WKE) describes the long-time dynamics of its associated nonlinear dispersive equation. Formal derivations in the physics literature date back…

We investigate the energy cascade in wall-bounded turbulence by analysing the interscale transfer between streamwise and spanwise length scales in periodic channels. This transfer originates from the nonlinear interactions in the advective…

Although wave kinetic equations have been rigorously derived in dimension $d \geq 2$, both the physical and mathematical theory of wave turbulence in dimension $d = 1$ is less understood. Here, we look at the one-dimensional MMT (Majda,…

A hallmark of far-from-equilibrium systems is the emergence of a spectral cascade, where energy is transferred across length-scales following a simple power law. The universal nature of this phenomenon has led to advances in a range of…

Three-wave interactions (or resonant triads) are the lowest-order nonlinear interaction in pattern formation and arise between waves with different orientations when the sum of two wavevectors equals a third one. When a pattern has only one…

Resonances with electromagnetic whistler-mode waves are the primary driver for the formation and dynamics of energetic electron fluxes in various space plasma systems, including shock waves and planetary radiation belts. The basic and most…
