Light refraction, i.e. the bending of the path of a light wave at the interface between two different dielectric media, is ubiquitous in optics. Refraction arises from the different speed of light and is unavoidable in continuous media…

For Riemannian submersions, we establish some estimates for the spectrum of the total space in terms of the spectrum of the base space and the geometry of the fibers. In particular, for Riemannian submersions of complete manifolds with…

For $n\geq 2$, we determine the Dirichlet spectrum in $\Rn$ with respect to a linear form and the maximum norm as the entire interval $[0,1]$. This natural result improves on recent work of Beresnevich, Guan, Marnat, Ram\'irez and Velani,…

The exact Green function for the scalar wave equation in a plane with any set of perfectly reflecting straight mirrors, which may be joined to form corners, is given as a diffraction scattering series. Instances would be slit diffraction in…

It is shown that a separated sequence of points in the unit disc of the complex plane is in fact uniformly separated, if there exists a certain intermediate sequence whose separated subsequences are uniformly separated. This property is…

Particle models with finitely many types of particles are considered, both on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and on discrete point sets of finite local complexity. Such sets include many standard examples of aperiodic order such as model sets or certain…

For lossless periodic structures with a proper symmetry, the transmission and reflection spectra often have peaks and dips that are truly $100\%$ and $0\%$, respectively. The full peaks and zero dips typically appear near resonant…

We study the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian on an unbounded twisted tube with twisting velocity exploding to infinity. If the tube cross section does not intersect the axis of rotation, then its spectrum is purely discrete under some…

We prove that the Floquet spectrum of a class of time-periodic Schroedinger equations under a a mildly nonlinear resonant forcing is purely absolutely continuous.

We give an introduction into diffraction theory for aperiodic order. We focus on an approach via dynamical systems and the phenomenon of pure point diffraction. We review recent results and sketch proofs. We then present a new uniform…

We show that the new technique of terahertz 2D coherent spectroscopy is capable of giving qualitatively new information about fractionalized spin systems. For the prototypical example of the transverse field Ising chain, we demonstrate…

We study random perturbations of quasi-periodic uniformly discrete sets in the $d$-dimensional euclidean space. By means of Diffraction Theory, we find conditions under which a quasi-periodic set $X$ can be almost surely recovered from its…

In this paper we associate to a linear differential equation with coefficients in the field of Laurent formal power series a new geometric object, a spectrum in the sense of Berkovich. We will compute this spectrum and show that it contains…

We derive contributions to the trace formula for the spectral density accounting for the role of diffractive orbits in two-dimensional billiard systems with corners. This is achieved by using the exact Sommerfeld solution for the Green…

We study wave scattering from a gently curved surface. We show that the recursive relations, implied by shift invariance, among the coefficients of the perturbative series for the scattering amplitude allow to perform an infinite…

We introduce a notion of $\varepsilon$-chains for continuous-time semiflows inspired by the shadow-orbit property. Although this definition differs from the $(\varepsilon,T)$-chains introduced by Conley, we prove that, for semiflows with…

We prove that generic fiber-bunched and H\"older continuous linear cocycles over a non-uniformly hyperbolic system endowed with a u-Gibbs measure have simple Lyapunov spectrum. This gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture proposed by…

The scaling behaviour of the diffraction intensity near the origin is investigated for (partially) ordered systems, with an emphasis on illustrative, rigorous results. This is an established method to detect and quantify the fluctuation…

We show how the small perturbations of a linear cocycle have a relative rotation number associated with an invariant measure of the base dynamics an with a $2$-dimensional bundle of the finest dominated splitting (provided that some…

We conjecture that in one-dimensional spatially extended systems the propagation velocity of correlations coincides with a zero of the convective Lyapunov spectrum. This conjecture is successfully tested in three different contexts: (i) a…
