A navigation on a set of points $S$ is a rule for choosing which point to move to from the present point in order to progress toward a specified target. We study some navigations in the plane where $S$ is a non uniform Poisson point process…
We study the early-time behavior of isotropic and homogeneous solutions in vacuum as well as radiation-filled cosmological models in the full, effective, four dimensional gravity theory with higher derivatives. We use asymptotic methods to…
Our results concern geometry of a manifold endowed with a pair of complementary orthogonal distributions (plane fields) and a time-dependent Riemannian metric. The work begins with formulae concerning deformations of geometric quantities as…
We discuss the asymptotic behavior of regulated field commutators for linearly polarized, cylindrically symmetric gravitational waves and the mathematical techniques needed for this analysis. We concentrate our attention on the effects…
A review of our results on the asymptotic structure of gravity at spatial infinity in four spacetime dimensions is given. Finiteness of the action and integrability of the asymptotic Lorentz boost generators are key criteria that we…
Geometric interactions in a new relativistic geometric unified theory include interactions other than gravitation and electromagnetism. In a low energy limit one of these interactions leads essentially to a Fermi type theory of weak…
Light is the richest information retriever for most physical systems, particularly so for astronomy and cosmology, in which gravitation is of paramount importance, and also for solid state defects and metamaterials, in which some effects…
We propose a general framework to describe Planckian deviations from Special Relativity (SR) compatible with a relativistic principle. They are introduced as the leading corrections in an asymptotic approach to SR going beyond the energy…
The assumption of asymptotic flatness for isolated astrophysical bodies may be considered an approximation when one considers a cosmological context where a cosmological constant or vacuum energy is present. In this framework we study the…
I discuss how the basic phenomenon of asymptotic freedom in QCD can be understood in elementary physical terms. Similarly, I discuss how the long-predicted phenomenon of ``gluonization of the proton'' -- recently spectacularly confirmed at…
We discuss the formulation of the scattering asymptotic condition in a relativistic quantum theory formulated in terms of reflection positive Euclidean Green functions.
We study the asymptotic stability of de Sitter spacetime with respect to non-linear perturbations, by considering second order perturbations of a flat Robertson-Walker universe with dust and a positive cosmological constant. Using the…
The problem of recovering the asymptotics of a short range perturbation of the Euclidean metric on R^n from fixed energy scattering data is studied. It is shown that if two such metrics, g1, g2, have scattering data at some fixed energy…
We give an account of some recent development that connects the concept of mass in general relativity to the geometry of large Riemannian polyhedra, in the setting of both asymptotically flat and asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds.
A previous paper by the authors found explicit contour integral formulas for certain joint moments of the multi-species q-TAZRP (totally asymmetric zero range process), using algebraic methods. These contour integral formulas have a…
We propose a geometric framework where dispersion relations are viewed as parametric surfaces in energy-momentum space. Within this picture, the presence and type of critical points of the surface emerge as clear geometric signatures of…
We develop a new method for studying the asymptotics of symmetric polynomials of representation-theoretic origin as the number of variables tends to infinity. Several applications of our method are presented: We prove a number of theorems…
First results towards a general method for asymptotic expansions of Feynman amplitudes in the loop-tree duality (LTD) formalism are presented. The asymptotic expansion takes place at integrand-level in the Euclidean space of the loop…
We present a new approach to the proof of ergodic theorems for actions of free groups based on geometric covering and asymptotic invariance arguments. Our approach can be viewed as a direct generalization of the classical geometric covering…
This article is the first of two in which we develop a geometric framework for analysing silent and anisotropic big bang singularities. The results of the present article concern the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to linear systems of…
