A number of misleading or incorrect comments by C.Giunti on seven arXiv preprints that I have written on the theory of neutrino oscillations are discussed. The essential new features of my approach are also briefly reviewed
In this comment, we emphasize that the self-consistent spin wave theory in a recent paper [J. K"onig, H.-H. Lin, and A. H. MacDonald, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5628 (2000)] leads to incorrect results both at low temperatures and near T_c. Thus…
The negative shifts seen by Wang and Zhu are not due to the excitation of surface plasmons but to leaky modes of the slab propagating backward. Provided the characteristics of the LHM slab are chosen correctly, it is shown that a leaky…
We study the propagation of Maxwellian electromagnetic waves in curved spacetimes in terms of the appropriate geometrical optics limit, notions of signal speed, and minimal coupling prescription from Maxwellian theory in flat spacetime. In…
The paper previously submitted under this title is incorrect in that it drastically overestimates the cumulative deflection due to a gravitational wave (GW) background. Avi Loeb gives a simple argument that there can be no $(D\omega)^{1/2}$…
In this paper, theoretical and numerical studies of perfect/nearly-perfect conversion of a plane wave into a surface wave are presented. The problem of determining the electromagnetic properties of an inhomogeneous lossless boundary which…
In the linear approximation, we study a one-dimensional problem of the reflectionless wave propagation on a surface of a shallow duct with the spatially varying water depth, duct width, and current. We show that both global and bounded…
As a coauthor of the article mentioned in the title, I discuss the criticism in the comment of Aalseth et al. Part of the criticism is justified.
A simple practical approach to describe transverse (shear) waves in strongly-coupled Yukawa fluids is presented. Theoretical dispersion curves, based on hydrodynamic consideration, are shown to compare favorably with existing numerical…
We study propagation of electromagnetic surface waves on a metal-air interface in the case when the wave frequency is below the plasma frequency. We derive a reduced wave equation for a metal cylinder with a given radius of curvature. Using…
Surface wave propagation at the interface between different types of gyrotropic materials and an isotropic negatively refracting medium, in which the relative permittivity and relative permeability are, simultaneously, negative is…
GW170817 was not merely an absolute breakthrough in gravitational wave astrophysics and a first in multi-messenger astronomy. The quality and diversity of the electro-magnetic counterpart emission is staggering on its own as well, including…
We consider a model for the propagation and absorption of electromagnetic waves (in the time-harmonic regime) in a magnetised plasma. We present a rigorous derivation of the model and several boundary conditions modelling wave injection…
The behavior of wave signals in the far zone is not only of theoretical interest but also of paramount practical importance in communications and other fields of applications of optical, electromagnetic or acoustic waves. Long time ago T.…
Marchildon's arguments against my earlier work are refuted.
This paper revisits the controversy concerning whether gravitational lensing effects make a significant difference to estimation of distance to the Cosmic Microwave Background last scattering surface in cosmology. A recent paper by Kaiser…
I review the tunneling, Hartle-Hawking and Linde proposals for the wave function of the universe and comment on the recent work on quantum creation of open universes.
Helical Kelvin waves were conjectured to exist for the 3D Euler equations in Lucas and Dritschel \cite{LucDri} (as well as in \cite{Chu}) by studying dispersion relation for infinitesimal linear perturbations of a circular helically…
We analyze surface electromagnetic waves with hyperbolic dispersion supported at the interface between a semi-infinite isotropic medium and an effective uniaxial material. Apart from known types plasmons with hyperbolic dispersion curve,…
We review the intensively discussed ideas about wave propagation and refraction in media where both electric permittivity and magnetic permeability are negative. The criticism against negative refraction as violating the causality principle…
