We consider the scattering of $n$ classical particles interacting via pair potentials, under the assumption that each pair potential is "long-range", i.e. being of order ${\cal O}(r^{-\alpha})$ for some $\alpha >0$. We define and focus on…
The brightness theorem---brightness is nonincreasing in passive systems---is a foundational conservation law, with applications ranging from photovoltaics to displays, yet it is restricted to the field of ray optics. For general linear wave…
We present a theoretical study of multi-mode scattering of light by optically random media, using the Mueller-Stokes formalism which permits to encode all the polarization properties of the scattering medium in a real $4 \times 4$ matrix.…
We consider the scalar wave equation $\square_g \phi$ and the linearized Einstein-scalar field system around generalized Kasner spacetimes with spatial topology $\mathbb{T}^D$. In suitable regimes for the Kasner exponents, it is known that…
It is shown that the Stone-von Neumann theorem is inapplicable to scattering a quantum nonrelativistic particle on a one-dimensional "short-range" potential barrier, since the unboundedness of the position operator plays here a crucial…
Evanescent waves are waves that decay or grow exponentially in regions of the space void of interaction. In potential scattering defined by the Schr\"odinger equation, $(-\nabla^2+v)\psi=k^2\psi$ for a local potential $v$, they arise in…

Two-body dissipation usually gives rise to a complex interaction. Here, we study the effect of two-body dissipation on few-body physics, including the fundamental two-body effective scattering and the three-body Efimov physics. By employing…
We consider a class of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with potential \[ i\partial_t u +\Delta u - Vu = \pm |u|^\alpha u, \quad (t,x) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^3, \] where $\frac{4}{3}<\alpha<4$ and $V$ is a Kato-type potential. We…
We develop the scattering theory of general conformally compact metrics. For low frequencies, the domain of the scattering matrix is shown to be frequency dependent. In particular, generalized eigenfunctions exhibit L^2 decay in directions…
Resonances are of particular importance to the scattering of composite particles in quantum mechanics. We build an effective field theory for two-body scattering which includes a low-energy $S$-wave resonance. Our starting point is the most…
We investigate the scattering phenomena produced by a general finite-range nonseparable potential in a multi-channel two-probe cylindrical nanowire heterostructure. The multi-channel current scattering matrix is efficiently computed using…
We extend the notion of the transfer matrix of potential scattering to a large class of long-range potentials $v(x)$ and derive its basic properties. We outline a dynamical formulation of the time-independent scattering theory for this…

Two methodologies have been presented in the literature which connect relativistic three-particle scattering amplitudes with lattice QCD spectra -- the ``relativistic effective field theory'' approach and the ``finite-volume unitarity''…
For any positive real number $s$, we study the scattering theory in a unified way for the fractional Schr\"{o}dinger operator $H=H_0+V$, where $H_0=(-\Delta)^\frac s2$ and the real-valued potential $V$ satisfies short range condition. We…
