Hyperuniform point patterns are characterized by vanishing infinite wavelength density fluctuations and encompass all crystal structures, certain quasi-periodic systems, and special disordered point patterns. This article generalizes the…
A spatial distribution is hyperuniform if it has local density fluctuations that vanish in the limit of long length scales. Hyperuniformity is a well known property of both crystals and quasicrystals. Of recent interest, however, is…
Resonance trapping appears in open many-particle quantum systems at high level density when the coupling to the continuum of decay channels reaches a critical strength. Here a reorganization of the system takes place and a separation of…

A thin flat rectangular plate supported on its edges and subjected to in-plane loading exhibits stable post-buckling behaviour. However, the introduction of a nonlinear (softening) elastic foundation may cause the response to become…
Spatial fluctuations of the effective pairing interaction between electrons in a superconductor induce variations of the order parameter which in turn lead to significant changes in the density of states. In addition to an overall reduction…

We investigate the behaviour of hard-core bosons in one- and two-dimensional flat band systems, the chequerboard and the kagom\'e lattice and one-dimensional analogues thereof. The one dimensional systems have an exact local reflection…
When propagating through periodically structured media, i. e. photonic crystals, optical waves will be modulated with the periodicity. As a result, the dispersion of waves will no longer behave as in a free space, and so called frequency…
We have experimentally investigated a chaotic reverberation chamber in the regime of strong modal overlap ($1{<}d{<}150$) varying the opening as well as the coupling strength $\kappa$ of the two attached antennas. We find a good agreement…
Among the remarkable scattering properties of correlated disordered materials, the origin of pseudo-gaps and the formation of localized states are some of the most puzzling features. Fundamental differences between scalar and vector waves…
We analyze some specific features of the beam-plasma instability. In particular, non-perturbative effects in the dispersion relation are studied when the standard perturbative inverse Landau damping treatment breaks down. We also elucidate…
The fluctuation conductivity $\sigma_{\rm s}$ in bulk superconductors with non s-wave pairing and with nonmagnetic disorder of strength $D$ is studied at low $T$ and within the Gaussian approximation. It is shown by assuming a quasi…

Disordered many-particle hyperuniform systems are exotic amorphous states characterized by anomalous suppression of large-scale density fluctuations. Here we substantially broaden the hyperuniformity concept along four different directions.…
