In the standard paradigm for cosmological structure formation, clustering develops from initially random-phase (Gaussian) density fluctuations in the early Universe by a process of gravitational instability. The later, non-linear stages of…
When a periodic 1D system described by a tight-binding model is uniformly initialized with equal amplitudes at all sites, yet with completely random phases, it evolves into a thermal distribution with no spatial correlations. However, when…
New developments on the symmetries of non-relativistic field theoretical models on the non commutative plane are reviewed. It is shown in particular that Galilean invariance strongly restricts the admissible interactions. Moreover, if a…
Correlation functions in one-dimensional complex scalar field theory provide a toy model for phase fluctuations, sign problems, and signal-to-noise problems in lattice field theory. Phase unwrapping techniques from signal processing are…
The absence of self averaging in mesoscopic systems is a consequence of long-range intensity correlation. Microwave measurements suggest and diagrammatic calculations confirm that the correlation function of the normalized intensity with…
Second-order intensity correlations from incoherent emitters can reveal the Fourier transform modulus of their spatial distribution, but retrieving the phase to enable completely general Fourier inversion to real space remains challenging.…
A Fourier analysis of parametric level dynamics for random matrices periodically depending on a phase is developed. We demonstrate both theoretically and numerically that under very general conditions the correlation $C(\varphi )$ of level…
The intensity of the overlap of a quantum state with all its phase space translations defines its quantum correlations. In the case of pure states, these are invariant with respect to Fourier transformation. The overlaps themselves are here…
The phases of the Fourier modes appearing in a plane-wave expansion of cosmological density fields play a vital role in determining the morphology of gravitationally-developed clustering. We demonstrate this qualitatively and quantitatively…
We study non-local measures of spectral correlations and their utility in characterizing and distinguishing between the distinct eigenstate phases of quantum chaotic and many-body localized systems. We focus on two related quantities, the…
Let $m\geq 3$, we prove that $(\alpha n^\theta \mod 1)_{n>0}$ has Poissonian $m$-point correlation for all $\alpha>0$, provided $\theta<\theta_m$, where $\theta_m$ is an explicit bound which goes to $0$ as $m$ increases. This work builds on…
Oscillators are ubiquitous in nature, and usually associated with the existence of an asymptotic phase that governs the long-term dynamics of the oscillator. % We show that asymptotic phase can be estimated using a carefully chosen series…
Nonlinearities in the gravitational evolution, galaxy bias, and redshift-space distortion drive the observed galaxy density fields away from the initial near-Gaussian states. Exploiting such a non-Gaussian galaxy density field requires…
In this paper, the development of a mathematical method is presented to explore spatially non-uniform phases with no long-range order in mathematical models of first order phase transitions. We use essential results regarding the…
Higher-order spectra (or polyspectra), defined as the Fourier Transform of a stationary process' autocumulants, are useful in the analysis of nonlinear and non Gaussian processes. Polyspectral means are weighted averages over Fourier…
Gaussian cosmic microwave background skies are fully specified by the power spectrum. The conventional method of characterizing non-Gaussian skies is to evaluate higher order moments, the n-point functions and their Fourier transforms. We…
We investigate estimating scalar oscillatory integrals by integrating by parts in directions based on $(x_1 \partial_{x_1} f(x) ,..., x_n \partial_{x_n}f(x))$, where $f(x)$ is the phase function. We prove a theorem which provides estimates…
We have applied the gaussian auxiliary field method introduced by Mazenko to the ordering dynamics of a non-conserved scalar system with attractive long-range interactions. This study provides a test-bed for the approach and shows some of…
To investigate and specify the statistical properties of cosmological fields with particular attention to possible non-Gaussian features, accurate formulae for the bispectrum and the bispectrum covariance are required. The bispectrum is the…
A new type of nonlinear time series analysis is introduced, based on phases, which are defined as polar angles in spaces spanned by a finite number of delayed coordinates. A canonical choice of the polar axis and a related implicit…
