In a recent paper the mean square displacement (MSD), <R^2(T)>, of a particle carried by a turbulent liquid over time T has been shown to be proportional to T^6/5, meaning that the motion of the particle is slightly super-diffusive. In some…

Recent studies have outlined the interest for the evaluation of transport coefficients in space plasmas, where the observed velocity distributions of plasma particles are conditioned not only by the binary collisions, e.g., at low energies,…

We prove stable versions of trace theorems on the sphere in $L^2$ with optimal constants, thus obtaining rather precise information regarding near-extremisers. We also obtain stability for the trace theorem into $L^q$ for $q > 2$, by…
