Analytic and passivity properties of reflection and transmission coefficients of thin-film multilayered stacks are investigated. Using a rigorous formalism based on the inverse Helmholtz operator, properties associated to causality…

A seemingly obvious extension of the weak equivalence principle, in which all matter must respond to Post-Newtonian gravitational fields, such as Lense-Thirring and radiation fields, in a composition-independent way, is considered in light…

Kramers-Kronig type dispersion relations for integer powers of complex reflection coefficient are introduced for testing the consistency of terahertz reflection spectra. By using numerical simulations we show that such dispersion relations…

Along the lines of the nonlinear response theory developed by Ruelle, in a previous paper we have proved under rather general conditions that Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations and sum rules apply for a class of susceptibilities describing…

Recently D. A. R. Dalvit and S. K. Lamoreaux arXiv:0805.1676 [Phys. Rev. Lett. v.101, 163203 (2008)] suggested the modification of the reflection coefficients in the Lifshitz theory taking into account the screening effects and diffusion…

Graded index media whose electric susceptibility satisfies the spatial Kramers-Kronig relations are known to be one-way reflectionless to electromagnetic radiation, for all angles of incidence. We demonstrate how a family of these media, in…

We extend Kramers-Kronig relations beyond the optical approximation to dielectric functions that depend not only on frequency but on the wave number as well. This implies extending the notion of causality commonly used in the theory of…

We present a general proof based on Kramers-Kronig relations that, in a normal or anomalous dispersive linear medium, any (discontinuitynonanalytic disturbance) in an electromagnetic pulse can not propagate faster than the phase velocity,…

After carefully studying the comment by Wang et al. (arXiv:1408.6420), we found it includes several mistakes and unjustified statements and Wang et al. lack very basic knowledge of dislocations. Moreover, there is clear evidence indicating…

In the recent series of papers (cond-mat/0402471, cond-mat/0403618, cond-mat/0407618, cond-mat/0501586), Janis and Kolorenc discussed the role of the diffision poles in the Anderson transition theory. Their picture contradicts the general…

The comment (arXiv:2505.23490) fails to identify any scientific errors and its central arguments actually support the main conclusions of our publication [Nat. Phys. 21, 708 (2025)]. Firstly, the whole argument of the comment to try to…

We comment on a recent paper by Li and Wang [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 044301 (2003)], and argue that their results violate the non-existence of a characteristic time scale in subdiffusive systems.

We explore the mathematical theory to rigorously describe the response of media with linear time-varying, generally dispersive, electromagnetic constitutive parameters. We show that even when the temporal inhomogeneity takes place on a time…
