Under general assumptions, the numbers of semiclassical resonances is known to be bounded from above by a negative power of $h$ which is given by the fractal dimension of the trapped set. In this paper we provide examples of operators with…
High frequency estimates for the Dirichlet-to-Neumann and Neumann-to-Dirichlet operators are obtained for the Helmholtz equation in the exterior of bounded obstacles. These a priori estimates are used to study the scattering of plane waves…
Utilising recent advances in incidence geometry for balls and tubes, and advances in sum-product theory in the discrete setting, we show that for $0 < s \leq 1/2$ and for any $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ with Hausdorff dimension $s$, either the…
The paper is concerned with the three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering from a large open rectangular cavity that is embedded in a perfectly electrically conducting infinite ground plane. By introducing a transparent boundary…
For a conformally compact manifold that is hyperbolic near infinity and of dimension $n+1$, we complete the proof of the optimal $O(r^{n+1})$ upper bound on the resonance counting function, correcting a mistake in the existing literature.…
We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the set $\mathbf{x}\in [0,1)^d$, such that $$ \left|\sum_{n=1}^N \exp\left(2 \pi i\left(x_1n+\ldots+x_d n^d\right)\right) \right|\ge c N^{1/2} $$ holds for infinitely many natural numbers $N$, is at…
We consider scattering by an obstacle in $\Real^d$, $d\geq 3 $ odd. We show that for the Neumann Laplacian if an obstacle has the same resonances as the ball of radius $\rho$ does, then the obstacle is a ball of radius $\rho$. We give…
We prove the first rigorous bound on the heat transfer for three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection of finite-Prandtl-number fluids between free-slip boundaries with an imposed heat flux. Using the auxiliary functional method with a…
We prove that the flow-cut gap for $n$-node directed graphs is at most $n^{1/3 + o(1)}$. This is the first improvement since a previous upper bound of $\widetilde{O}(n^{11/23})$ by Agarwal, Alon, and Charikar (STOC '07), and it narrows the…
We provide the first known upper bounds for the packing dimension of weighted singular and weighted $\omega$-singular matrices. We also prove upper bounds for these sets when intersected with fractal subsets. The latter results, even in the…
We extend an above barrier analysis made with the Schrodinger equation to the Dirac equation. We demonstrate the perfect agreement between the barrier results and back to back steps. This implies the existence of multiple (indeed infinite)…
Motivated by questions in inverse scattering theory, we develop free boundary methods in obstacle problems where both the solution and the right hand side of the equation may have varying sign. The key condition that prevents the appearance…
We investigate single-particle ballistic scattering on a rectangular barrier in the nodal-line Weyl semimetals. Since the system under study has a crystallographic anisotropy, the scattering properties are dependent on mutual orientation of…
We numerically show fractal Weyl law behavior in an open Hamiltonian system that is described by a smooth potential and which supports numerous above-barrier resonances. This behavior holds even relatively far away from the classical limit.…
The study of Fourier transforms of probability measures on fractal sets plays an important role in recent research. Faster decay rates are known to yield enhanced results in areas such as metric number theory. This paper focuses on…
