Through temporal shaping of the excitation signal, the complex-frequency scattering zeros of a lossless structure can be accessed, enabling a storage-release mechanism referred to as coherent virtual absorption. Practical demonstrations of…

Inhomogeneous cosmological models are able to fit cosmological observations without dark energy under the assumption that we live close to the "center" of a very large-scale under-dense region. Most studies fitting observations by means of…

One would expect spacetime to have a foam-like structure on the Planck scale with a very high topology. If spacetime is simply connected (which is assumed in this paper), the non-trivial homology occurs in dimension two, and spacetime can…
