We show that eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on certain non-compact domains with finite area may localize at infinity--provided there is no extreme level clustering--and thus rule out quantum unique ergodicity for such systems. The…
We investigate chaotic scattering on an attractive step potential with a quadrupolar deformation. The phase space features of the bound billiard are studied by using the notion of symmetry lines to find periodic orbits. We show that the…
We examine many-body localization properties for the eigenstates that lie in the droplet sector of the random-field spin-$\frac 1 2$ XXZ chain. These states satisfy a basic single cluster localization property (SCLP), derived in \cite{EKS}.…
We study the self-energies of weakly interacting scalar fields in de Sitter space with one field much lighter than the Hubble scale. We argue that self-energies drastically simplify in this light limit. We illustrate this in theories with…
Let $H$ signify the free non-negative Laplacian on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $H_Y$ the non-negative Dirichlet Laplacian on the complement $Y$ of a nonpolar compact subset $K$ in the plane. We derive the low-energy expansion for the Krein spectral…
We consider a negative Laplacian in multi-dimensional Euclidean space (or a multi-dimensional layer) with a weak disorder random perturbation. The perturbation consists of a sum of lattice translates of a delta interaction supported on a…
We report the results of molecular dynamics simulations of an off-lattice protein model featuring a physical force-field and amino-acid sequence. We show that localized modes of nonlinear origin (discrete breathers) emerge naturally as…
In this article we study point configurations minimizing the discrete energy on a compact Riemannian manifold, where the energy kernel is taken to be the Green's function for the Laplacian. We show that every point in a minimizing…
We study the billiard map corresponding to a periodic Lorentz gas in 2-dimensions in the presence of small holes in the table. We allow holes in the form of open sets away from the scatterers as well as segments on the boundaries of the…
We study the aspects of quantum localization in the stadium billiard, which is a classically chaotic ergodic system, but in the regime of slightly distorted circle billiard the diffusion in the momentum space is very slow. In quantum…
We present an efficient method to solve scattering problems in two-dimensional open billiards with two leads and a complicated scattering region. The basic idea is to transform the scattering region to a rectangle, which will lead to…
In this paper we look for minimizers of the energy functional for isotropic compressible elasticity taking into consideration the effect of a gravitational field induced by the body itself. We consider the displacement problem in which the…
In this paper, we study the restrictions of both the harmonic functions and the eigenfunctions of the symmetric Laplacian to edges of pre-gaskets contained in the Sierpinski gasket. For a harmonic function, its restriction to any edge is…
We consider a family of open sets $M_\epsilon$ which shrinks with respect to an appropriate parameter $\epsilon$ to a graph. Under the additional assumption that the vertex neighbourhoods are small we show that the appropriately shifted…
We consider a homogenization of elliptic spectral problem stated in a perforated domain, Fourier boundary conditions being imposed on the boundary of perforation. The presence of a locally periodic coefficient in the boundary operator gives…
We demonstrate low-threshold random lasing in random amplifying layered medium via photon localization. Lasing is facilitated by resonant excitation of localized modes at the pump laser wavelength, which are peaked deep within the sample…

Scattering of light by a random stack of dielectric layers represents a one-dimensional scattering problem, where the scattered field is a three-dimensional vector field. We investigate the dependence of the scattering properties (band gaps…
