Detection of the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) using Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) surveys is an intriguing possibility, and one that may allow observers to quantify the amount of "missing baryons" in the WHIM phase. We estimate the…
We investigate the possibility of detecting the turbulent state of the IGM with the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect. Being sensitive to the divergence-free component of the momentum field of the IGM, the kSZ effect might be used to…

Recent general results on Hamiltonian reductions under polar group actions are applied to study some reductions of the free particle governed by the Laplace-Beltrami operator of a compact, connected, simple Lie group. The reduced systems…
Non-Gaussian statistics of late-time cosmological fields contain information beyond that captured in the power spectrum. Here we focus on one such example: the one-point probability distribution function (PDF) of the thermal…
This work investigates edge modes in non-Hermitian photonic crystals with broken spectral reciprocity. In such systems, the spectra of the underlying operators generally form closed loops over the complex plane with nontrivial spectral…

A new generation of CMB experiments will soon make sensitive high resolution maps of the microwave sky. At angular scales less than $\sim$10 arcminutes, most CMB anisotropies are generated at z $< 1000$, rather than at the surface of last…
