In this work, we study null hypersurfaces admitting a privileged vector field $\eta$ which is null and tangent at the hypersurface. We derive an identity that relates the deformation tensor of $\eta$ with tensor fields codifying the…

Thermal Doppler broadening of spectral profiles for particle populations in the absence or presence of potential fields are described by kappa distributions. The kappa distribution provides a replacement for the Maxwell-Boltzmann…

We introduce two classes of null hypersurfaces of an indefinite Sasakian manifold, $(\overline{M}, \overline{\phi},\zeta, \eta)$, tangent to the characteristic vector field $\zeta$, called; {\it contact screen conformal} and {\it contact…
For various plasma applications the so-called (non-relativistic) $\kappa$-distribution is widely used to reproduce and interpret the suprathermal particle populations exhibiting a power-law distribution in velocity or energy. Despite its…
The departure of particle distributions from the Maxwellian is commonly observed in space plasmas. These non-Maxwellian distributions which are typical for plasmas that are not in thermal equilibrium, can be modeled with…
Let $(\varphi_\alpha,\xi_\alpha,g)$ for $\alpha=1,2$, and $3$ be a contact metric $3$-structure on the manifold $M^{4n+3}$. We show that the $3$-contact distribution of this structure admits a HyperKahler structure whenever…

To eliminate gravitational non-Gaussianity, we introduce the $\mathcal{Z}$-$\kappa$ transform, a simple local nonlinear transform of the matter density field that emulates the inverse of nonlinear gravitational evolution. Using $N$-body…
The density distribution in solids is often represented as a sum of Gaussian peaks (or similar functions) centred on lattice sites or via a Fourier sum. Here, we argue that representing instead the $\mathit{logarithm}$ of the density…
Kappa-distributed velocities in plasmas are common in a wide variety of settings, from low-density to high-density plasmas. To date, they have been found mainly in space plasmas, but are recently being considered also in the modelling of…
