We revisit the damped wave equation on two-dimensional torus where the damped region does not satisfy the geometric control condition. We show that if the damping vanishes as a H\"older function $|x|^{\beta}$, and in addition, the boundary…
We study the non-radiative Auger decay of excitons in Cu$_2$O, in which two excitons scatter to an excited electron and hole. The exciton decay rate for the direct and the phonon-assisted processes is calculated from first principles;…
We study partial regularity for degenerate elliptic systems of double-phase type, where the growth function is given by $H(x,t)=t^p+a(x)t^q$ with $1<p\leq q$ and $a(x)$ a nonnegative $C^{0,\alpha}$-continuous function. Our main result…
We give an exact result about the asymptotic limit of an oscillatory integral whose phase contains a certain flat term. Corresponding to the real analytic phase case, one can see an essential difference in the behavior of the above…
The spectra and form factors of exclusive semi-leptonic decays of B-meson are analyzed, taking account of confined effects of quarks by the Covariant Oscillator Quark Model. The predicted B --> (D*,D)l nubar_l spectra with the conventional…
We consider the wave equation with a cubic convolution $\partial_t^2 u-\Delta u=(|x|^{-\gamma}*u^2)u$ in three space dimensions. Here, $0<\gamma<3$ and $*$ stands for the convolution in the space variables. It is well known that if initial…
An analytic result for the O(alpha_s corrections to the triple differential B -> X_u l nu decay rate is presented, to leading order in the heavy-quark expansion. This is relevant for computing partially integrated decay distributions with…
Order \alpha^2 corrections to the decay rate of orthopositronium are calculated in the framework of nonrelativistic QED. The resulting contribution is found to be in significant disagreement with one set of experimental measurements though…
We consider saddle point integrals in d variables whose phase function is neither real nor purely imaginary. Results analogous to those for Laplace (real phase) and Fourier (imaginary phase) integrals hold whenever the phase function is…
In an effective Lagrangian approach to QCD we nonperturbatively calculate an analytic approximation to the decay rate of a false vacuum per unit volume, $\Gamma/V$. We do so for both zero and high temperature theories. This result is…
We study asymptotic expansion as $\nu\to0$ for integrals over ${ \mathbb{R} }^{2d}=\{(x,y)\}$ of quotients $F(x,y) \big/ \big( (x\cdot y)^2+(\nu \Gamma(x,y))^2\big)^{-1}$, where $\Gamma$ is strictly positive and $F$ decays at infinity…
This paper investigates uniqueness results for perturbed periodic Schr\"odinger operators on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Specifically, we consider operators of the form $H = -\Delta + V + v$, where $\Delta$ is the discrete Laplacian, $V: \mathbb{Z}^d…
Under appropriate assumptions the energy of wave equations with damping and variable coefficients $c(x)u_{tt}-\hbox{div}(b(x)\nabla u)+a(x)u_t =h(x)$ has been shown to decay. Determining the rate of decay for the higher order energies…
Using data collected with the CLEO~II detector, we have observed the isospin-violating decay $D_s^{*+}\to D_s^+\pi^0$. The decay rate for this mode, relative to the dominant radiative decay, is found to be $\Gamma(D_s^{*+}\to…

Let $L$ be a sub-Laplacian on a two-step stratified Lie group $G$ of topological dimension $d$. We prove new $L^p$-spectral multiplier estimates under the sharp regularity condition $s>d\left|1/p-1/2\right|$ in settings where the group…
We obtain dimension-free estimates for the modulus of continuity of densities of polynomial images of $s$-concave and product measures. As a consequence, we settle a conjecture of A. Carbery and J. Wright (2001) on sharp upper bounds for…
Corrections $\sim \alpha^2 $ to the positronium decay rate, induced by one--loop vacuum polarization diagram, are calculated. Their relative values are $0.4468(3)(\alpha/\pi)^2$ for para- and $0.960(3)(\alpha/\pi)^2$ for orthopositronium.
In this paper, we are concerned with optimal decay rates for higher order spatial derivatives of classical solutions to the full compressible MHD equations in three dimensional whole space. If the initial perturbation are small in…
We demonstrate that at long times the rate of passive scalar decay in a turbulent, or simply chaotic, flow is dominated by regions (in real space or in inverse space) where mixing is less efficient. We examine two situations. The first is…
