We generalise the well-known ``embroidery'' envelopes of chords joining points at angles $t$ and $mt$ of a single circle in several ways. Firstly we allow $m$ to be rational (possibly negative) instead of integral, finding formulas for the…

Laws of electrodynamics constrain scattering cross-sections of resonant objects. Nevertheless, a fundamental bound that expresses how larger that scattering cross-section can be is yet to be found. Approaches based on cascading multiple…

Shear bands are narrow zones of intense shear observed during plastic deformations of metals at high strain rates. Because they often precede rupture, their study attracted attention as a mechanism of material failure. Here, we aim to…
A pulse of light, injected into a weakly disordered dielectric medium, typically, will leave its initial location in a short time, by diffusion. However, due to some rare configurations of disorder, there is a possibility of formation of…
We consider the problem of $q$-colouring a $k$-uniform random hypergraph, where $q,k \geq 3$, and determine the rigidity threshold. For edge densities above the rigidity threshold, we show that almost all solutions have a linear number of…

Within classical optics, one may add microscopic "roughness" to a macroscopically flat mirror so that parallel rays of a given angle are reflected at different outgoing angles. Taking the limit (as the roughness becomes increasingly…
