For chaotic scattering on quantum graphs, the semiclassical approximation is exact. We use this fact and employ supersymmetry, the colour-flavour transformation, and the saddle-point approximation to calculate the exact expression for the…
We study the ultimate limits to the decoherence rate associated with dephasing processes. Fluctuating chaotic quantum systems are shown to exhibit extreme decoherence, with a rate that scales exponentially with the particle number, thus…
In this paper we introduce some weak dynamical properties by using subbases for the phase space. Among them, the notion of light chaos is the most significant. Severalexamples, which clarify the relationships between this kind of chaos and…
The scattering among three particles interacting through $1/r^2$ forces, with opposite charges and widely different masses, is studied in a coplanar geometry. The present work shows that at low impact velocities the output of the collision…
We examine a spatial evolution of lightwaves in a nonlinear photonic crystal with a quadratic nonlinearity when simultaneously a second harmonic and a sum-frequency generation are quasi-phase-matched. We find the conditions of a transition…
We obtain the general static, spherically symmetric solution for the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton system in four dimensions with a phantom coupling for the dilaton and/or the Maxwell field. This leads to new classes of black hole solutions,…
We numerically analyze the behavior of a charged scalar field on a fixed extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om background. We find an extension of the Aretakis instability characterized by an accumulation of charge on the extremal event horizon. In…
We study the motion of light in the gravitational field of two Schwarzschild black holes, making the approximation that they are far apart, so that the motion of light rays in the neighborhood of one black hole can be considered to be the…
There are two free coupling parameters $c_{13}$ and $c_{14}$ in the Einstein-\AE ther metric describing a non-rotating black hole. This metric is the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole solution when $0\leq 2c_{13}<c_{14}<2$, but it is not…
The passage of light or of electrons through a disordered medium is modified in the presence of resonances. We describe a simple model for this problem, and present first results.
We study the chaotic behavior of a phenomenological system of rotating black holes (BHs) surrounded by radiation, dust, and dark matter as effective matter fluids. We show that the chaos bound is saturated -- but never violated -- when the…
The inverse scattering method is applied to the investigation of the equilibrium configuration of black holes. A study of the boundary problem corresponding to this configuration shows that any axially symmetric, stationary solution of the…
Recently we estimated that about 5 percent of supermassive black hole triple systems are fundamentally unpredictable. These gargantuan chaotic systems are able to exponentially magnify Planck length perturbations to astronomical scales…
In this chapter, we consider a class of discrete dynamical systems defined on the homogeneous space associated with a regular tiling of $\R^N$, whose most familiar example is provided by the $N-$dimensional torus $\T ^N$. It is proved that…
It has long been thought that a highly excited string can be regarded as a black hole: the correspondence principle between strings and a black hole, while recent studies found that black holes are characterized by chaos. This suggests that…
This paper investigates chaos and chaotic phase mixing in triaxial Dehnen potentials which have been proposed to describe realistic ellipticals. Earlier work is extended by exploring the effects of (1) variable axis ratios, (2) `graininess'…
The observed scarcity of chaotic phenomena in astronomy contrasts sharply with their theoretical significance, primarily due to the absence of a robust framework for detecting chaos. In this study, we numerically simulate the light curves…
It is demonstrated that static, charged, spherically--symmetric black holes in string theory are classically and catastrophically unstable to linearized perturbations in four dimensions, and moreover that unstable modes appear for…
We present and contrast two distinct ways of including extremal black holes in a Lorentzian Hamiltonian quantization of spherically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell theory. First, we formulate the classical Hamiltonian dynamics with boundary…
Celestial bodies approximated with rigid triaxial ellipsoids in a two-body system can rotate chaotically due to the time-varying gravitational torque from the central mass. At small orbital eccentricity values, rotation is short-term…
