Pure gravitational plane waves are considered as a special case of spacetimes with two commuting spacelike Killing vector fields. Starting with a midisuperspace that describes this kind of spacetimes, we introduce gauge-fixing and symmetry…
In classical continuum physics, a wave is a mechanical disturbance. Whether the disturbance is stationary or traveling and whether it is caused by the motion of atoms and molecules or the vibration of a lattice structure, a wave can be…
We study vectors chosen at random from a compact convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ given by a finite number of linear constraints. We determine which projections of these random vectors are asymptotically normal as $n\to\infty$. Marginal…

In this paper, we study two-dimensional steady solitary gravity waves propagating along the surface of a fluid of finite depth. In particular, we can deal with general vorticity distributions and overhanging wave profiles. By conformal…
A quadratic line complex is a three-parameter family of lines in projective space P^3 specified by a single quadratic relation in the Plucker coordinates. Fixing a point p in P^3 and taking all lines of the complex passing through p we…

Dispersion relations and polarizations for surface waves in infinite planar samples in the QHE regime are explicitly determined in the small wavevector limit in which the dielectric tensor can be considered as local. The wavelength and…

We investigate the diffraction of singularities of solutions to the linear elastic equation on manifolds with edge singularities. Such manifolds are modeled on the product of a smooth manifold and a cone over a compact fiber. For the…
We give a new, wave-like solution of the field equations of five-dimensional relativity. In ordinary three-dimensional space, the waves resemble de Broglie or matter waves, whose puzzling behaviour can be better understood in terms of one…
We derive the dispersion relation for linearized small-amplitude gravity waves for various choices of non-constant vorticity. To the best of our knowledge, this relation is only known explicitly in the case of constant vorticity. We provide…

Using matrix identities, we construct explicit pseudo-exponential-type solutions of linear Dirac, Loewner and Schr\"odinger equations depending on two variables and of nonlinear wave equations depending on three variables.
The representation of solutions of Maxwell's equations as superpositions of scalar wavelets with vector coefficients developed earlier is generalized to wavelets with polarization, which are matrix-valued. The construction proceeds in four…
