We present a simple gedanken experiment in which a compact object traverses a spacetime with three macroscopic spatial dimensions and $n$ compact dimensions. The compactification radius is allowed to vary, as a function of the object's…
We study the dynamics of a collisionless kinetic gas in the most general static, spherically symmetric dispersion relation. For a static, spherically symmetric kinetic gas, we derive the most general solution to these dynamics, and find…

We assess the universal relations among second-order moments of relativistic stars, namely the moment of inertia, tidal deformability, and spin-induced quadrupole moment, via reformulated perturbation equations. After constructing the…
We extend the theory of the radiation pressure to include quadratic fluctuations in the position of a moving mirror. This enables the introduction of a generalized radiation pressure operator that captures higher-order effects in the…
There remains a useful relation between diffusion and mobility for a Langevin particle in a periodic medium subject to nonconservative forces. The usual fluctuation-dissipation relation easily gets modified and the mobility matrix is no…
A deformed differential calculus is developed based on an associative star-product. In two dimensions the Hamiltonian vector fields model the algebra of pseudo-differential operator, as used in the theory of integrable systems. Thus one…
A class of elliptic-hyperbolic equations is placed in the context of a geometric variational theory, in which the change of type is viewed as a change in the character of an underlying metric. A fundamental example of a metric which changes…
Lattice QCD studies of hadron-hadron interactions are performed by computing the energy levels of the system in a finite box. The shifts in energy levels proportional to inverse powers of the volume are related to scattering parameters in a…
