We study scattering by metamaterials with negative indices of refraction, which are known to support \emph{surface plasmons} -- long-lived states that are highly localized at the boundary of the cavity. This type of states has found uses in…
We study wave scattering by a finite transversal strip in a discrete square-lattice waveguide with Dirichlet boundary conditions imposed on the strip and the waveguide walls. The setting is motivated as a discrete analogue of the classical…
As a consequence of a result of Cardoso and Vodev, we show that the resolvent of the Laplacian on asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds is analytic in an exponential neighbourhood of the critical line. The case of non-trapping metrics with…
We use conformal geometry methods and the construction of Friedrich's cylinder at spatial infinity to study the propagation of spin-$0$ fields (solutions to the wave equation) on $n$-dimensional Minkowski spacetimes in a neighbourhood of…
This paper continues the study initiated in [30] on nonscattering phenomena for inhomogeneous media. We investigate star-shaped domains in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and establish finiteness results for nonscattering wavenumbers associated with…
In this paper, we study an inverse scattering problem at fixed energy on three-dimensional asymptotically hyperbolic St{\"a}ckel manifolds having the topology of toric cylinders and satisfying the Robertson condition. On these manifolds the…
We study the propagation of a compactly supported high-frequency wave through a semi-linear wave equation with a null structure. We prove that the self-interaction of the wave creates harmonics which remain close to the light-cone in the…
The quasi-normal modes for black holes are the resonances for the scattering of incoming waves by black holes. Here we consider scattering of massless uncharged Dirac fields propagating in the outer region of de…
In this paper we consider solutions to the linear wave equation on higher dimensional Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes and prove robust nondegenerate energy decay estimates that are in principle required in a nonlinear stability problem.…
The problems we address in this paper are the spectral theory and the inverse problems associated with Laplacians on non-compact Riemannian manifolds and more general manifolds admitting conic singularities. In particular, we study the…
Motivated by questions in inverse scattering theory, we develop free boundary methods in obstacle problems where both the solution and the right hand side of the equation may have varying sign. The key condition that prevents the appearance…
Strong nonlinear effects are known to contribute to the wave run-up caused when a progressive wave impinges on a vertical surface piercing cylinder. The magnitude of the wave run-up is largely dependent on the coupling of the cylinder…
We prove the meromorphic extension to C for the resolvent of the Laplacian on a class of geometrically finite hyperbolic manifolds with infinite volume and we give a polynomial bound on the number of resonances. This class notably contains…
We will consider the high frequency behaviour of distorted plane waves on manifolds of nonpositive curvature which are Euclidean or hyperbolic near infinity, under the assumption that the curvature is negative close to the trapped set of…
We investigate the wave propagation on a compact 3-manifold of constant positive curvature with a non trivial topology, the Poincar\'e dodecahedral space, when the scale factor is exponentially increasing. We prove the existence of a limit…
We present a new numerical scheme to solve the Helmholtz equation in a wave-guide. We consider a medium that is bounded in the $x_2$-direction, unbounded in the $x_1$-direction and $\varepsilon$-periodic for large $|x_1|$, allowing…
We prove that in contrast to the free wave equation in $\R^3$ there are no incoming solutions of Maxwell's equations in the form of spherical or modulated spherical waves. We construct solutions which are corrected by lower order incoming…
Topological waveguides supporting quantum valley Hall interfacial states confine waves to interfaces and, due to topological protection, are resistant to backscattering even in the presence of defects. These topological insulators are…
