We consider a nonlinear microcavity separating a waveguide channel into two parts so as the coupling between them is possible only due to the resonant properties of the microcavity. We provide a rigorous derivation of the equations used in…
One way to account for the acceleration of the universe is to modify general relativity, rather than introducing dark energy. Typically, such modifications introduce new degrees of freedom. It is interesting to consider models with no new…
