In this paper we study the Hecke algebra associated with a complex reflection group W. We discuss some properties of the Galois group of the splitting field of this algebra, and study its action on the so-called fake degrees of W. The…
We consider the following geometric optics problem: Construct a system of two reflectors which transforms a spherical wavefront generated by a point source into a beam of parallel rays. This beam has a prescribed intensity distribution. We…

We derive the paraxial meridional ray tracing equations from the unified reflection-refraction law using geometric algebra. This unified law states that the normal vector to the interface is a rotation of the incident ray or of the…
Consider a reflected diffusion on the positive half-line. We approximate it by solutions of stochastic differential equations using the penalty method: We emulate the "hard barrier" of reflection by a "soft barrier" of a large drift…
For all affine Toda field theories we propose a new type of generic boundary bootstrap equations, which can be viewed as a very specific combination of elementary boundary bootstrap equations. These equations allow to construct generic…

In this work, we study nonlocal differential equations with particular focus on those with reflection in their argument and piecewise constant dependence. The approach entails deriving the explicit expression of the solution to the linear…
Reflectometry is a technique that uses the light reflected by a sample to determine properties of the sample. Interferometric reflectometry uses interference between two beams, one of which is incident on ---and reflected back by--- a…
We use the algebraic Bethe ansatz to obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the spin-1 Temperley-Lieb open quantum chain with "free" boundary conditions. We exploit the associated reflection algebra in order to prove the off-shell…
We employ the so-called companion matrix method from computational algebraic geometry, tailored for zero-dimensional ideals, to study the scattering equations. The method renders the CHY-integrand of scattering amplitudes computable using…
The time-dependent Bragg diffraction by multilayer gratings working by reflection or by transmission is investigated. The study is performed by generalizing the time-dependent coupled-wave theory previously developed for one-dimensional…
We investigate the possible regular solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation for the fundamental $U_q[G_2]$ vertex model. We find four distinct classes of reflection matrices such that half of them are diagonal while the other half…
We consider extensions of the language of Peano arithmetic by transfinitely iterated truth definitions satisfying uniform Tarskian biconditionals. Without further axioms, such theories are known to be conservative extensions of the original…
We obtain a class of non-diagonal solutions of the reflection equation for the trigonometric $A^{(1)}_{n-1}$ vertex model. The solutions can be expressed in terms of intertwinner matrix and its inverse, which intertwine two trigonometric…
The reflection equations in a $su(3)$ spin chain with open boundary conditions are analyzed. We find non diagonal solutions to the boundary matrices. The corresponding hamiltonian is given. The solutions are generalized to $su(n)$.
An extension of the Kramers-Kronig method for treatment of polarized infrared reflectance spectra from the face of low-symmetry crystals, where directions of principal dielectric axes depend on frequency, is proposed. It is shown, how to…
New set-theoretical solutions to the Yang-Baxter Relation are constructed. These solutions arise from the decompositions "in different order" of matrix polynomials and $\theta$-functions. We also construct a "local action of the symmetric…
We extend our recent work on set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter or braid relations with new results about their automorphism groups, strong twisted unions of solutions and multipermutation solutions. We introduce and study graphs of…
