This paper attempts to relate some ideas of Grothendieck in his Esquisse d'un programme and some of the recent results on 2-dimensional topology and geometry. Especially, we shall discuss the Teichm\"uller theory, the mapping class groups,…
We discuss two space-time models: one is expanding, the other is static. They are both derived from Schwarzschild's exterior solution. But they differ in the implementation of the parallelism at a distance and the choice of their master…
The Theory of (2+1) Systems based on 2D Schrodinger Operator was started by S.Manakov, B.Dubrovin, I.Krichever and S.Novikov in 1976. The Analog of Lax Pairs introduced by Manakov, has a form $L_t=[L,H]-fL$ ("The $L,H,f$-triples") where…
Nonconvex-nonconcave saddle-point optimization in machine learning has triggered lots of research for studying non-monotone variational inequalities (VI). In this work, we introduce two mirror frameworks, called mirror extragradient method…
Gravitational lensing provides a unique and powerful probe of the mass distributions of distant galaxies. Four-image lens systems with fold and cusp configurations have two or three bright images near a critical point. Within the framework…
We pursue a geometrical approach to gravitational lensing theory. We present a survey of the background theory of General Relativity, including particular properties of the Schwarzschild and Kerr solutions. Next we outline a proof of the…
We develop a method for deriving approximate analytical formulae to integrate photon geodesics in a Schwarzschild spacetime. Based on this, we derive the approximate equations for light bending and propagation delay that have been…
Two-dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger operators that are finite-gap at one energy level are introduced in 1976 by Dubrovin, Krichever and Novikov. In two subsequent works by Novikov and Veselov the potentiality conditions for them have been…
The main focus of this paper is on models of quartic surfaces, especially so-called complex surfaces. These are special fourth-degree surfaces that Julius Pl\"ucker introduced in the 1860s for visualizing the local structure of a quadratic…
We describe an adaptive optics technique for two-photon microscopy in which the deformable mirror used for aberration compensation is positioned in a plane conjugate to the plane of the aberration. We demonstrate in a proof-of-principle…
This paper studies magnifying superlens using complementary media. Superlensing using complementary media was suggested by Veselago in [16] and innovated by Nicorovici et al. in [9] and Pendry in [10]. The study of this problem is difficult…
The continuation of the Schwarzschild metric across the event horizon is almost always (in textbooks) carried out using the Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates, in terms of which the areal radius r is defined only implicitly. We argue that from a…
Here the gravitational lensing in strong field limit of a Schwarzschild black hole with a solid deficit angle owing to global monopole within the context of the $f(R)$ gravity theory is investigated. We obtain the expressions of deflection…
We develop linear discretization of complex analysis, originally introduced by R. Isaacs, J. Ferrand, R. Duffin, and C. Mercat. We prove convergence of discrete period matrices and discrete Abelian integrals to their continuous…
This article presents research work on a spectroscopic survey telescope. Our idea is as follows: for such a telescope, a pure reflecting optical system is designed, which should have an aperture and a field of view (FOV) both as large as…
Active optics techniques in astronomy provide high imaging quality. This paper is dedicated to highly deformable active optics that can generate non-axisymmetric aspheric surfaces-or freeform surfaces-by use of a minimum number of…
Under the perturbative picture of planetary microlensing, the planet is considered to act as a uniform-shear Chang-Refsdal lens on one of the two images produced by the host star that comes close to the angular Einstein radius of the…
A multi-prism lens (MPL) is a refractive x-ray lens with one-dimensional focusing properties. If used as a pre-object collimator in a scanning system for medical x-ray imaging, it reduces the divergence of the radiation and improves on…
Recently, a fractional version of the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole with a fractal horizon has been introduced. Motivated by the key role of the Schwarzschild solution in gravitational and astrophysical studies, some consequences of…
We investigate the gravitational lensing of a Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole with a global monopole at finite distances. In this asymptotically nonflat spacetime, the deflection angle of light is decomposed into two parts: the first…
