It is well known that, in potentials that are quadratic near the minimum but shallower away, such as small $\alpha$ ($\ll M_P^2$) attractors, the inflaton condensate fragments into localized compact objects known as oscillons during…
We consider a slow-fast Hamiltonian system with one fast angular variable (a fast phase) whose frequency vanishes on some surface in the space of slow variables (a resonant surface). Systems of such form appear in the study of dynamics of…

A theoretical analysis of electromagnetic forces on neutral particles in an hollow waveguide is presented. We show that the effective scattering cross section of a very small (Rayleigh) particle can be strongly modified inside a waveguide.…
Let -Delta+V be the Schrodinger operator acting on L^2(R^d,C) with d odd larger than 2. Here V is a bounded real- or complex-valued function vanishing outside the closed ball of center 0 and radius a. If V belongs to the class of potentials…
We consider polynomials $p_n^{\omega}(x)$ that are orthogonal with respect to the oscillatory weight $w(x)=e^{i\omega x}$ on $[-1,1]$, where $\omega>0$ is a real parameter. A first analysis of $p_n^{\omega}(x)$ for large values of $\omega$…
We develop resonance-based low-regularity numerical integrators for stochastic Schr"odinger equations with additive $Q$-Wiener noise, covering both the linear equation with rough potential and the cubic nonlinear case. For the linear…
We prove explicit asymptotics for the location of semiclassical scattering resonances in the setting of $h$-dependent delta-function potentials on $\mathbb{R}$. In the cases of two or three delta poles, we are able to show that resonances…
We study two uncoupled oscillators, horizontal and vertical, residing in rectilinear polygons (with only vertical and horizontal sides) and impacting elastically from their boundary. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the…
The possibility of asymmetric absorption and reflection for flexural waves is demonstrated though analytical and numerical examples. We focus on the 1D case of flexural motion of a beam and consider combinations of point scatterers which…
Oscillons are extremely long lived, oscillatory, spatially localized field configurations that arise from generic initial conditions in a large number of non-linear field theories. With an eye towards their cosmological implications, we…
We study the possibility of occurrence of vibrational resonance in a softening Duffing oscillator in the underdamped and overdamped cases both theoretically as well as numerically. The oscillator is driven by two periodic forces.…

The resonances for the Wigner-von Neumann type Hamiltonian are defined by the periodic complex distortion in the Fourier space. Also, following Zworski, we characterize resonances as the limit points of discrete eigenvalues of the…
We prove that the resonance counting functions for Schr\"odinger operators $H_V = - \Delta + V$ on $L^2 (\R^d)$, for $d \geq 2$ {\it even}, with generic, compactly-supported, real- or complex-valued potentials $V$, have the maximal order of…

This work concerns resonant scattering by a perfectly conducting slab with periodically arranged subwavelength slits, with two slits per period. There are two classes of resonances, corresponding to poles of a scattering problem. A sequence…
