Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) is a widely used spectroscopic technique, providing access to the electronic structure and dynamics of atoms, molecules, and solids. However, RIXS requires a narrow bandwidth x-ray probe to achieve…
Time-symmetric quantum mechanics can be described in the usual Weyl--Wigner--Moyal formalism (WWM) by using the properties of the Wigner distribution, and its generalization, the cross-Wigner distribution. The use of the latter makes clear…
In this paper, the expression of the relativistic Maxwell-J\"uttner velocity distribution was deduced in a detailed and didactic way. This distribution was compared with the well-known Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, which does not take…
We re-examine and correct an earlier derivation of the distribution of the Wigner phase delay time for wave reflection from a long one-dimensional disordered conductor treated in the continuum limit. We then numerically compare the…
We present a concise derivation of the Boltzmann form for single-particle energy distributions in classical many-body Hamiltonian systems. The derivation relies on two physical facts: coarse-graining-scale invariance of the empirical…
We review the Weyl-Wigner formulation of quantum mechanics in phase space. We discuss the concept of Narcowich-Wigner spectrum and use it to state necessary and sufficient conditions for a phase space function to be a Wigner distribution.…
We present a simple derivation of the energy formula found by Tan, relative to the single channel hamiltonian relevant for ultracold Fermi gases. This derivation is generalized to particles with different masses, to arbitrary mixtures, and…
The low energy Dirac and Weyl spectra are allowed to violate the Lorentz symmetry and thereby have a tilted energy dispersion. The tilt in the energy dispersion induces a Hall voltage in the plane spanned by the electric field and the tilt…
We investigate the effect of near threshold resonances in reactive scattering at low energy. We find a general type of anomalous behavior of the cross sections, and illustrate it with a real system (H$_2$ + Cl). For inelastic processes, the…
We study the semiclassical quantization of Poincar\'e maps arising in scattering problems with fractal hyperbolic trapped sets. The main application is the proof of a fractal Weyl upper bound for the number of resonances/scattering poles in…
Two relativistic distributions which generalizes the Maxwell Boltzman (MB) distribution are analyzed: the relativistic MB and the Maxwell-J{\"u}ttner (MJ) distribution. For the two distributions we derived in terms of special functions the…
We consider the defocusing, energy subcritical wave equation $\partial_t^2 u - \Delta u = -|u|^{p-1} u$ in dimension $d \in \{3,4,5\}$ and prove the exterior scattering of solutions if $3\leq d \leq 5$ and $1+6/d<p<1+4/(d-2)$. More…
Abridged.-- We demonstrate that the radiation emitted by ultrarelativistic electrons in highly nonuniform, small-scale magnetic fields is different from synchrotron radiation if the electron's transverse deflections in these fields are much…
Large, non-Gaussian spatial datasets pose a considerable modeling challenge as the dependence structure implied by the model needs to be captured at different scales, while retaining feasible inference. Skew-normal and skew-t distributions…
We compute families of solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations of the type of Brill waves, but with slow fall-off towards spatial infinity. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for physical data and numerically construct some…
Survey-based measurements of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies have flux density estimates on badly misaligned grids in rest-frame wavelength. The shift to rest frame wavelength also causes estimated SEDs to have…
A new formalism is presented for finding equilibrium distribution functions for axisymmetric systems. The formalism, obtainded by using the concept of fractional derivatives, generalizes the methods of Fricke (1952), Kalnajs (1972) and…
Arising as a fluctuation phenomenon, the equilibrium distribution of meandering steps with mean separation $<\ell>$ on a "tilted" surface can be fruitfully analyzed using results from RMT. The set of step configurations in 2D can be mapped…
